About this listen
This program is read by the author.
It’s hard being a person, especially in a family, and no one knows that better than stand-up comedian, family man, and Live from Here head writer and performer, Tom Papa.
How do you deal with a life filled with a whole host of characters and their bizarre, inescapable behavior? Especially when you’re related to them? Tom Papa is here to help you make sense of it all. Your Dad Stole My Rake is a hilarious and warm audiobook that saws deep into every branch of the family tree and uncovers the most bizarre and surprisingly meaningful aspects of our lives. He exposes everyone, from crazy aunts with mustaches, grandparents who communicate by yelling, and uncles who use marijuana as a condiment.
Among the topics covered:
- Tiger Mom v. Ice-Cream Mom
- Stop Trying to Be Cool
- In Defense of Family Vacations
- No Fighting Before Coffee
- Least Popular Baby Names
- Wife Lie Detector
- Your Cat Thinks You’re Too Needy
Anyone who has a family, grew up in a family, or has spent time with another human being will love this audiobook.
©2018 Tom Papa (P)2018 Macmillan AudioWhat the critics say
"I have been a close friend of Tom Papa for 17 years. His lack of ability to perceive even the most basic principles of human functioning have made him an invaluable asset to me as a friend and colleague.... I would definitely recommend whatever the name of this book is, because I know it comes from a place of pure nonsense without any knowledge of anything. He is really one of my favorite people." (Jerry Seinfeld, comedian and author of SeinLanguage)
"Finally a funny book about parenting. Great observations. Great writing. Actually funny. I've always known Tom was hysterical, now I know he is a great writer and a fantastic storyteller. Can Tom Papa write all books?" (Jim Gaffigan, comedian and author of Dad Is Fat)
"Papa's warm tone and varied timing will draw listeners into the book and enable them to see that, as is the case with most good comedy, there's truth that supports the jokes." (AudioFile Magazine)

Laugh out loud funny!
Loved listening to this as I walked the dog. I laughed the entire time even though I was out in subzero temperatures and my beloved pet had to sniff something every five feet. For once, I didn't mind going around the block in a snowstorm at 10:00 pm.

good for what ails you
Listening to Tom makes life a little easier. Funny, relatable & touching. All of his books are great (and much cheaper than therapy).

Tom is doing great.
Tom is great of course, but somehow I expected more than was available in this selection. He is funny and engaging, and the anecdotes are relatable, but I have heard him in better form elsewhere. Still recommend it strongly.
