A children’s book for adults, this sees the narrator begging a child to “go the f**k” to sleep”.

A sample verse:

I know you’re not thirsty,That’s bullsh*t,Stop lying.

Lie the f**k down, my darling,

And sleep.

Samuel L Jackson reads the audiobook version. Of course he does.

3. Eats, Poops and Leaves

It also gives advice on how to use your child to get out of things, or how to stop strangers confusing your girl for a boy and vice versa.
