“Being happy is a choice. It is a choice my father has made. I’m going to teach my kinds the same thing. Because my dad is right: ‘life is short; you might as well try and enjoy it.’” Ben Falcone has had some strange moments in his journey as a father of two daughters—from overhearing the girls discussing the mysteries of God while making them pancakes to forgetting candy for the St. Patrick’s Day leprechaun trap made by his kindergartner (St. Patrick’s Day candy? Leprechaun traps?) to boiling with anger while attempting to get the tiniest glimpse of his child during a school p...
“Being happy is a choice. It is a choice my father has made. I’m going to teach my kinds the same thing. Because my dad is right: ‘life is short; you might as well try and enjoy it.’” Ben Falcone has had some strange moments in his journey as a father of two daughters—from overhearing the girls discussing the mysteries of God while making them pancakes to forgetting candy for the St. Patrick’s Day leprechaun trap made by his kindergartner (St. Patrick’s Day candy? Leprechaun traps?) to boiling with anger while attempting to get the tiniest glimpse of his child during a school performance across a sea of iPhones. Through these, and all the other strange, funny, and sometimes infuriating moments of parenthood, Ben’s role model has been his own father. Known for his long and involved stories, his competitive nature on the basketball court, his colorful language, propensity for funny hats, and a somewhat casual approach to employment, Steve Falcone was a dad like no other. Ben learned everything about being a man, a husband, and a father from his own dad. Steve Falcone taught Ben that fatherhood is all about showing up in the most important moments, and always making sure your kids know that you love and support them—even when your kids do really weird stuff. In this charming and hilarious collection, Ben Falcone offers intimate and relatable stories about his adventures as a parent to his two daughters with his wife, Melissa McCarthy, but also his own childhood, and all that is wonderful and weird about life in the trenches as a parent. Because being a dad is weird . . . but also great.
