A proposito di questo titolo

 Your dad texts you, "If you don't hear from me after Saturday, remember that I love you."He's not dying. He's getting a new phone.That's the tone of DAD CAN YOU NOT? (Countryman Press, Norton; 4.21.26), the new book from the internet's "unofficial Dad translator" Chip Leighton, whose viral dad content has racked up millions of views by documenting the everyday ways well-meaning fathers manage to embarrass their families and often without realizing it.Built from real stories submitted by kids, partners, and families (plus plenty from Chip himself), Dad, Can You Not? is a lovingly brutal catalog of dad behavior everyone recognizes instantly: confusing emojis, misusing slang, eating the wrong thing because "it was in a bowl," commenting on social media posts that absolutely did not need commentary, and confidently saying the wrong thing at the worst possible moment.This isn't a parenting guide. It's an anti-handbook. A how-not-to manual for dads who are trying their best-and somehow still doing too much.Structured in short, highly visual sections, the book moves through classic danger zones: texting and social media, food mishaps, school and sports events, public outings, and everyday conversations that go off the rails. Along the way, Leighton includes real texts from kids ("Dad, please stop"), quizzes that measure how "Dad" your behavior truly is, and crowd-sourced stories that prove embarrassing dad moments are a universal experience. What makes the book land isn't just the jokes, it's the recognition. Readers don't have to imagine these dads. They already know them. They live with them. They're related to them. In many cases. yes, they are them.Chip, whose first book What Time is Noon? was an instant New York Times bestseller, brings the same sharp, self-aware humor that made his online work resonate-but on the page, the jokes breathe. There's room for the kids' voices, the spouses' side-eyes, and the dads' sincere (if misguided) intentions.The result is a fast, laugh-out-loud read that works as a gift, a stress reliever, and a mirror no dad asked for. but probably needs.Because somewhere right now, a dad is replying "LOL" to very serious news. And someone is saying, once again: "Dad can you not."
