Nobody Eats Parsley: And other things I learned from my family

Sit down, grab a beer, and let me tell you some stories about my family. They’re so ridiculous you may think they’re fiction. Like the time I went to a drive-in X-rated movie without realizing my parents were in the next car. Or the time I let my kid throw a rock through our living room window. There’s the time I bought a camouflage thong in a bait shop and the time I ruined a kid’s birthday party. And the other time I ruined a kid’s birthday party. I can’t guarantee that these stories will make you laugh, but I
can guarantee that I didn’t make them up.

Review

“Great stories. You made me smile.”
SETH GODIN, author of
Purple Cow

“So you can’t choose your family. But you can write a book about them and destroy the parsley industry in the process. I wouldn’t last a week in David Oakley’s wacky family,  but I would pay money to attend their reunion! I so appreciate David’s wicked humor, brilliant story-telling, and true love of family. Even if he doesn’t know that parsley is a garnish.”
TRACY LEE CURTIS, author of
Trophy Mom

“David has figured out the secret to life: he’s learned to laugh at himself. We would all be richer if we learned how to do the same.”
Kristen Cavallo, CEO, The Martin Agency
