You’ve created a human alarm clock without a snooze button!

Welcome to the life-upending, sleep-thieving, crazy old business known as parenthood. The hours are long and the pay is non-existent, but the rewards are priceless. They better be.

You’re in for quite a ride, but this hilarious gift book is here to tell it like it is, respect the struggle and help you see the funny side. A blend of real talk, hard-won wisdom and relatable observations, this is the perfect antidote to all those well-meaning myths about the unbelievable journey that you and your little one have just begun.

The realizations that are going to dawn on you pretty fast include:

– Just think, in a couple of years that little angel will be calling you a poo-head.
– Despite all the boundaries you set, sometimes you are going to have to let the baby win.
– Your biggest daily achievement is now getting another human to burp.
This is the perfect gift for anyone with a new baby and a sense of humour.

‘An inch in the right direction is better than a mile in the wrong direction’

‘If you think your life is bland, then you haven’t added enough flavour’

‘People who live in glass houses should never undress’

In September 2009, London cabbie Mark Solomon began asking passengers in the back of his taxi for a random quote or proverb. It started spontaneously, to give him more purpose and direction, but he found that sharing these daily inspirations with others made them feel part of something special too.

The project developed into a popular website (www.blackcabquotes.com), and now this pocket-sized book offers the best thoughts for the day, ranging from the truly philosophical to the downright bizarre.
