Daddy, Stop Talking!: And Other Things My Kids Want but Won't Be Getting

Page 22

by Adam Carolla


  So my final piece of fatherly advice, Sonny and Natalia, is to have kids and love them as much as I love you.

  Acknowledgments

  Thank you to everyone at Dey Street/HarperCollins who told me I should write yet another book that no one in my family will read. This includes Lynn Grady, Sean Newcott, Mandy Kain, Heidi Richter, Shelby Peak and Paula Szafranski.

  I should also thank the folks who handle all the business side of the book thing for me—James “Babydoll” Dixon, my agent, Dan Strone, my literary agent, and Dan Bodansky. I’d also like to tip my hat to Mike Lynch, the wizard behind the curtain for all of this.

  Finally, to my editor, Carrie Thornton, whose complaints about her own kids brought a greater level of authenticity to my tales of woe.
