About this listen

The TAO of Da-da is what happens when a sleep-deprived (male) parent starts misremembering excerpts of The Tao de Ching while high-speed toddlers crash and burn and scream into walls and furniture and innocent bystanders, with you just standing there, Legos stuck to your face in fascination-of-the-abomination, pretending that epic tantrums and parabolic dinner arcs are business as usual.

Sample TAO of Da-da parenting wisdom:

Empty your mind of all thoughts Like you had any left?

Let your heart be at peace but try to stay conscious.

Watch the turmoil born of Small Beings but only contemplate using the duct tape...

TAO marries a haggard dad's wry, self-deprecating view of his own role with the wisdom of a venerable Chinese philosopher... along with select funniness from Da-da's award-winning parenting-humor-and-horror blog, "Triumph of a Man Called Da-da."Really, every day you survive as a parent is a triumph, and somewhere in there is The Way, or The TAO of Da-da.
