Humor Spotlight: "The Bro Code for Parents: What to Expect When You're Awesome"

Barney is back with another book on how to be awesome! Based on the character appearing on the CBS television comedy How I Met Your Mother, Barney Stinson, The Bro Code For Parents (Touchstone) provides readers with a master class on how to be an awesome parent. Barney makes it sound so easy and the perks can be amazing! For instance, when registering at your favorite store/online retailer for an upcoming baby shower, be sure to include items that are on your wish list, too. After all, the baby will get the majority of the gifts and you, as a parent, did play a role in her/his creation and should reap some rewards! Also, when hiring a nanny, make sure you interview everyone before making a final decision (except if one applicant is smokin' hot!).

Barney covers topics such as how to get pregnant, how to get through the pregnancy, and then on to early childhood and toddlerdom. Of course, the fun is getting there and Barney always has a good time rounding the bases. Whether you need help deciding if you really want to have a baby, or need to figure out the best way to conceive, Barney knows best. He will even volunteer as a sperm donor, all you have to do is fill out a questionnaire and be super hot!

With the use of full color pictures, such as what happens to your breasts during pregnancy, ideas for what pictures to include on a mobile (like a guitar and a gun) and how to fist bump while still in the womb, Barney conveys his vast knowledge. Of course, after writing three previous books (The Playbook, The Bro Code and Bro on the Go), he is actually getting really good at this. In fact, Barney is so in tune with his readers that he understands that not everyone is handling the pregnancy well, so he is kind enough to pen original songs, such as "Boobs on the Bus," "Bro Macdonald," and "Bro Bro Bro Your Boat," that will certainly lighten your mood.

Seriously, The Bro Code for Parents is the funniest effort yet from Barney Stinson, with Matt Kuhn. I would go so far to say it is awesome, but that might be copyright infringement. I laughed out loud repeatedly while reading The Bro Code for Parents because no topic is off limits. Barney even knows his excrement and what soiled diapers really represent (calling Dr. Freud!). His illustrations on how to handle the baby are classic, as is the customized Broller (baby stroller), complete with a boob cam. Perhaps the most amusing part of the book is the disclaimer that appears at the beginning. Whether it was actually necessary to include it or not, it is just damn funny!

The Bro Code for Parents: What to Expect When You're Awesome is now available.
