BLACKLISTED FROM THE PTA is an irreverent look at motherhood and
the modern family. From the high chair to a vinyl restaurant booth
on date night, Lela Davidson has captured life on the cul-de-sac
with a husband, two kids, and the occasional pet. Whether failing
at cloth diaper origami or smug in knowledge that her children have
never consumed a PopTart, Lela assures parents they are not alone,
and that it's okay to laugh--at yourself, and at your kids. These
are the stories of Everyparent--even if we don't always tell them
out loud. Each of these 62 essays can be read in under five minutes
for a quick laugh-either with or at the author.
As a CPA on the mommy track, all Lela wanted to do was sit on
the driveway and drink wine out of a box with the neighbors.
Luckily, she started writing down her stories instead. Whether
tackling PTA meetings, neighborhood politics, or inflation-by-Tooth
Fairy, Lela exposes the humor in every awkward moment and maternal
meltdown. From a trendy Seattle condo, to a tidy Arkansas
subdivision, Lela shares the comic side of family life. She takes
you to Mexican bars, the hockey rinks of St. Louis, ski slopes near
Santa Fe, shopping in Dallas, and even introduces you to a few
strippers--the novices on the playgrounds of New York City, and the
pros in Vegas. Lela says what the rest of us are thinking. Her
hilarious observations and subtle satire are always spot on. She's
not afraid to reveal her screw-ups, along with fleeting delusional
moments of wherein she honestly believes she is the best mom
ever.
