I'm the author of the story "Smacking up the family car". My story tells of the unique way my mom told my car loving dad that I smacked up the family car. I was in stitches and moved to tears with allot of the other stories in the book as well. The book is well worth the time and money.

I enjoyed these short stories about crazy family members. Some of the stories were laugh-out-loud funny and reminded me of my own family!
