Sh*t My Dad Says: Justin Halpern

Funny book about a guy moving back in with his parents as an adult and realizing how original and amusing his dad is and was throughout his childhood. The book is sort of a tribute to his dad once he realized behind the rough exterior and terrible language, his dad is ultimately motivated by love. My favorite story is when the dad coached his little league baseball team and was upset that the parents were unrealistic about their children's ability. He would play everyone for the same amount of time and watched after a child whose father was a drunk. One of the parents baited that boy and the author's dad called him out for being a jerk, a grown man picking on a child that already had enough problems. All of the stories and commentary were delightful and reminded me of my grandfather in a lot of the similarities. I am glad the author shared his father with his readers. It was an oddly uplifting book.
