Like many parents, Iowa dad Nathan Ripperger found himself saying some bizarre, hilarious, and just plain off-the-wall things to his kids. Ripperger, who has five boys, is a graphic designer, and decided to try something novel: He took some of his more memorably wacky quotes and created colorful illustrations with them. The result is his book Things I’ve Said to My Children. Here are some of our faves!
We Don’t Eat Our Dinner With Our Toes
I Am Not Talking To You Until You Are Wearing Underwear
Honey, Please Don’t Lick the Toaster
Stop Eating Cake Out of the Garbage, You Already Brushed Your Teeth
Did You Put Syrup on the Dog?
We Do Not Poop in Books
