Episode 165: Humor in Parenting (Epilogue)

Tonight, Laura and Dana talked humor in parenting. Laura caught up with the absolutely hilarious Johanna Stein, originator of the viral "Momhead" video and author of "How Not to Calm a Child on a Plane (And Other Lessons in Parenting Lessons from a Highly Questionable Source)." Jen Mann, creator of the wildly popular "People I Want to Punch in the Throat" website, which is now responsible for a book with the same title. While our kids laugh 300-400 times a day, the average adult only laughs 15-20 times, so listen up and laugh it off!
