Being a dad isn't just a job-it's a lifestyle.

From backyard grilling and garage tinkering to thermostat battles and "making good time" on road trips, dads have a unique way of navigating life. And if you grew up in Wisconsin (or anywhere with Fleet Farm loyalty, cheese curd addiction, and an unshakable trust in Kwik Trip coffee), then you already know-Dad is a legend in his own right.

In Don't Tell Your Mother, Wayne Larson delivers a hilarious, heartfelt tribute to fatherhood, packed with Midwest wisdom, dad logic, and stories every parent, child, and spouse will recognize. Whether it's teaching you how to fish, refusing to ask for directions, or silently judging your ability to stack firewood, Dad's quirks are timeless, universal, and worthy of a book all their own.

Inside, you'll discover:

  • The Hardware Store Phenomenon: Why Dad always needs "just one more thing"
  • The Great Thermostat War: And why 68°F is "perfectly fine"
  • Road Trips with Dad: A test of endurance, efficiency, and bladder control
  • Fishing with Dad: More untangling lines than actually catching fish
  • The Dad Vocabulary Handbook: Featuring classics like "We'll see," "Must be nice," and "I'm not sleeping, I'm just resting my eyes."
  • Whether you're a dad, had a dad, or know a dad, this book is a must-read for anyone who appreciates the absurd, unspoken rules of fatherhood-especially in the great state of Wisconsin.

    Perfect for Father's Day, birthdays, or anyone who's ever had to wait in the car while Dad "just runs in quick."
