Sorry I Peed on You (and Other Heartwarming Letters to Mommy) by Jeremy Greenberg Read Free Book Online

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
    I would first like to thank this book’s wonderful editor and an incredibly awesome person, Lane Butler, to whom I am profoundly grateful for her unending faith in my projects. Huge thanks also to my excellent agent, David Fugate, for his subtle wisdom; and to the very gifted Nicole Ghazal at MSN, for bringing in a fresh voice and allowing me to share my life with millions of parents. I, of course, still bow to the guru, Chris Federico.
    I would also like to thank Kathy Hilliard for her great promotional work; everyone else at Andrews McMeel for working their butts off to make this book great; and all the people at team MSN who graciously made room for The Family Room.
    Very special thanks as well to Jessica Smith, Ginger Young Fisher, Ashley Cochran, Monika Orrey, and Sam Thorpe—for taking time from their busy lives to help that crazy kid from school.
    This book wouldn’t exist without all of the wonderful families who contributed their photos. Thank you to the Chengs, the Cochrans, the Doyles, the Fischers, the Frenches, the Fugates, the Galantes, the Ghazals, the Greenbergs, the Grossmans, the Heffners, the Logelins, the Neises, the Romyns, the Smiths, the Tiches, the Wards, and the Young Fishers.
    Also, huge thanks to all of the excellent photographers who allowed their work to appear in the book: Sara Benson, “Wyatt’s First Day of Preschool,” page 34; Kyle Connolly, “Concerned Kid,” page 53; Abra Cook, “Yummy Dirt,” page 42; Greg Dodson, “Shoeless in December,” page 41; Amanda Hatton, “Grumpy at the Barn,” page 50; Jorge Moreno Jr., “Couch Jumping,” page 17; Roland Polczer, “Kid in the Market,” page 33; and Laura Yurs, “Toddler Graffiti” page 29.
    Let me save my absolute deepest thanks for my family: First and foremost to my wonderful wife, Barbara, for putting up with my long hours and for believing; to my sons, Ben and Seth, for being funnier than me; and to my parents and Arlene, Lauren, Jonathan, Ryann, Ethan, Ava, and Dagny; and to everyone else I have known and been inspired by. Thank you!
