Don’t Lick the Minivan and Other Things I Never Thought I’d Say to My Kids
As a woman used to traveling and living the high life in Bangkok, Leanne Shirtliffe recognized the constant fodder for humour while pregnant with twins in Asia's sin city. But in spite of deep-fried bug cuisine and nurses who cover newborn bassinets with plastic wrap, Shirtliffe manages to keep her babies alive for a year with help from a Coca-Cola deliveryman, several waitresses, and a bra factory.
Leanne Shirtliffe is an award-winning humour blogger for the Huffington Post, Nickelodeon’s NickMom.com, and the Calgary Herald.
