Download or read book Why Some Animals Eat Their Young written by Dallas Louis and published by . This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A contemporary Erma Bombeck extols the highs and lows of parenting When Dallas Louis decided that all she wanted in life was to meet and marry her Prince Charming and become a mother, she had no idea what was in store for her. But she would soon find out. After only seven months of dating, she married the love of her life, and within the course of twenty-six months, she gave birth to three children. Her husband knew her longer pregnant than not pregnant! In this hilarious book, Dallas shares highlights of what happened in her world once she and her husband, Jeff, brought home three kids in a time span that was barely long enough to build a house, let alone long enough to build three humans.
