Venturing deep into the Twitterverse in search of even more hilarity, these intrepid editors discovered more than FIFTY of the funniest comedians who just happen to be parents. Together with still more of Science of Parenthood’s signature cartoons and special “behind the tweets” stories, Book Two is BIGGER … it’s BOLDER ... and gosh darn it, people LIKE it!
With its dynamic mix of moms’ and dads’ voices and parenting topics—toddlers to teens—The BIGGER Book of Parenting Tweets is guaranteed to make new parents, veteran parents, grandparents and expecting parents laugh out loud at the unbelievable (yet somehow still endearing) crazy that comes with raising children.
Here is just a peek at some of what you’ll find inside:
I don’t believe in spanking my children, but I do believe in flipping them off from the other room.
— Jewel Nunez (@OneFunnyMummy)
Me prying a toy hammer from my 4yo:
“Stop. It’s not hammer time!”
Parenting is lonely when nobody’s there to hear your outdated references.

The saddest thing I have ever seen is watching my son trying to carve a Playstation 3 out of a giant lump of coal on Christmas.

All restaurants should have a $200 cover charge for babies.

No, honey. The deer is just sleeping. They tied him down so he wouldn’t fall off the top of their Ford Explorer.

The Bigger Book of Parenting Tweets: Featuring More of the Most Hilarious Parents on Twitter Reviews

This is really, really, really funny! And I spend hours a day reading tweets. You would think that with Twitter being virtual and millions and millions of tweets to discover on any given day, why read a book of them? Because these editors have pulled together some of the funniest stuff. It's really worth reading because they have done quite a nice job of unearthing some of the funniest parenting-related tweets I have ever read. If you are a parent, you will also feel the accuracy of many of these barbs. They nail the pain and absurdity of parenthood with great wit. This book would also make a great gift for a non-Twitter-using parent! Perhaps a baby shower gift?

Even if this weren't my book, I'd still give it five stars. Laugh-out-loud funny!

Thank you dear fiance for giving me this one as a present for my birthday! I just adored the previous Parenting Tweets book, and so I am delighted that there was another one. This time even bigger and even better and I just had so much fun reading it. I laughed out loud many many times and shared quite a few of these quotes with my dear fiance. I also love that several of the tweets got an extra story to explain the backstory behind that tweet. Which made everything even better. There are also several illustrated tweets which also were a nice addition. All in all, if you want some laughs, love parenting tweets, be sure to check out this hilarious book!

Love it (of course)

The Bigger Book of Parenting Tweets is a new collection of hundreds of comic Tweets by funny people who also happen to be parents. Are you a parent who can use a good laugh? Check out this sampling of the book’s wit, wisdom and wisecracks:
4yo said he went potty, and I asked if it was Number 1 or 2. He said Number 7, and now I’m terrified to go into the bathroom.
(@TheAlexNevil)
I try to explain to my kids during the movie that in reality, even a cowardly lion would definitely eat a girl and a little dog.
(@Cheeseboy22)
Me: Do you know why I took your toy away?
5yo: You don’t know?
(@TheAlexNevil)
Mommy Milk Factory has officially closed down. Owner thanks her two loyal customers. Equipment will now be used for display purposes. (@MarleBean)
In a dinner discussion about what we should grow if we had a garden, my 4yo suggested “some balls.”
(@FunnyIsFamily)
5yo: What’s a cannibal?
Me: A person who eats another person.
5yo’s eyes widen with horror.
Me: You said cannonball, didn’t ya?
(@CrazyExhaustion)
The 4yo saw picture of me pregnant. I explained that she was inside me. She thought about it for a bit, then said, “I never want to do that again.”
(@ZoeVsUniverse)
“This is a funny necklace!”
- 3yo with my thong around her neck.
(@FunnyIsFamily)
No. Honey. The deer is just sleeping. They tied him down so he wouldn’t fall off the top of their Ford Explorer.
(@LindaInDisguise)
The dream is sleeping in on Sunday, the reality is that the sibling rivalry cage match happening in the living room needs a referee. (@SimonCHolland)
Boy tattling on his sister: “MOMMY! She poked my eyeballs out!”
Me: If I go down there and his eyes are still in his head, I’m gonna be pissed.
(@QuestionableCIP)
I can’t find my kid’s birth certificate, but I apparently saved one for every Build-A Bear we own in a special file because I’m insane. (@StellaGMaddox)
Me: Put on a hat so we can leave for school.
3yo: I don’t need a hat; my brain is warm.
Me: My brain is fried and I’m wearing one.
3yo *puts on hat*
(@OutsmartedMommy)
The baby gets furious when I try to undress him. He gets that from his mother.
(@BradBroaddus)
A cute thing I tell my kids when we see a dead deer on the side of the road is, “Looks like Santa lost his temper again.”
(@Cheeseboy22)
It gets awkward when we’re in line at the grocery store and my 4yo son says, “So how many penises are in our family?”
(@YuviZalkow)
I learned a lot during tonight’s Family Nerf Gun War. For example, I WILL sacrifice my daughter to get a clear shot at my husband.
(@MaughamMom)
At the store:
Me: We need to put all the toys back now, so people can buy them.
2yo: I’m people.
(@MCarisa)
7yo just stomped out yelling, “Download me a new book!”
New tantrums for a new generation.
(@AlfaGeeek)
My advice? Get a copy for every mom and dad on your holiday gift list. And a copy for yourself too. In the words of one Good Reads reviewer: “You need to laugh about parenting. It will keep you sane.”

How funny can you be in 140 characters? Frikkin' HILARIOUS!
I received an advance review copy of The Bigger Book of Parenting Tweets -- and laughed so hard at the searing commentary on parenting's joys and face-palm moments! Not only did I laugh out loud over and over while reading this book, I'm now trying to figure out how to befriend all the featured Tweeters -- these are my kind of people -- funny, snarky, and sarcastic! Love 'em! -
I am a grandparent and I can relate to so many of these tweets. Wish I had had them when I was raising my kids. You need to laugh about parenting - it will keep you sane.
I passed this book on to my daughter! I wanted her to enjoy parenting and laugh about the hard parts.
This book made me giggle, laugh, and read some of it over and over again. -
I won this book in a GoodReads giveaway and could not be happier! This was a hilarious, quick read that kept me smiling from beginning to end! I just gifted it to my friend who is a mommy to be, and I definitely think parents and non parents alike can enjoy this book.

A quick, fun read filled with amusing (and sometimes confusing) quotes that represent the reality and insanity that comes with parenting.
