Book description
Have you or Dad ever taken drugs? If there's a God, why does he let
us go to war? Can I get my belly button pierced? Why were you and
Daddy shouting last night? Mum, why don't you have a willy? All
parents know the moment. You are preparing the lunchbox or trying to
pack the boot of the car, when your child comes up and asks one of
those impossibly embarrassing, unanswerable questions... At last, help
is at hand. Rather than palming the question off on your spouse, or
burying your red face behind a newspaper, let Emma Cook give you the
answers. Collected from her highly successful column in the Times Â-
in which she seeks expert opinion to back up her own experience as a
parent and journalist, Ask your Father provides succinct,
on-the-button advice to every question you could possibly have the
misfortune to be faced with. This will make you laugh all the way to
the school gates.
Emma Cook is a journalist. Her column, Ask Your Father, in Times Body
& Soul, had the largest postbag in the Saturday paper. She lives in
London with her husband and two children
