My Wife Says...

My Wife Says . . . is a book about life, my life, and the humor that has found its way into it. Most of that humor comes from my wife, Carrie, and my daughter, Chantelle. Carrie’s often unintentional wit, that I like to call "Carrieisms," tends to keep people in stitches and was the basis for this book. But the more Chantelle grew, the more like her mother she became and the more she found her way into it as well. Then I added a few more stories about other family members and it became My Life with Carrie: A Book of Carrieisms and Other Tidbits Too. I felt that title was too wordy so I shortened it to My Wife Says . . . As I wrote this book I realized that my life is not without humor. A couple of my friends have said that this book offers the reader a glimpse into our family’s daily life and the love that we share for each other and many agree that it would make a funny TV sitcom. So here it is, a collection of short stories and tidbits from our everyday life together, all true and sure to keep you laughing. So relax, read, laugh, and enjoy the humor that is My Wife Says . . .

Reviews

"This book is hilarious! A must read for anyone with a sense of humor. What a funny TV show this would make!"

"Very funny stuff. I wish my family was this entertaining."

—Laura B.

"A must read. Hilariously funny stories of a married couple with children where the husband never knows what will come out of their mouths. Be prepared to laugh out loud. Very entertaining stories of what is said in a very funny household. It's witty, funny, and very well written."

—Jodi C.

"I found this book to be very entertaining and at times made me laugh until my ribs ached. I have known Doug since elementary school and have always appreciated his dry, understated sense of humor. I have also been exposed to Carrie's unique perspective on many occasions and have actually heard her make some of the comments that are in this book. What I found when I read it was not a collection of sayings and stories, instead, it was a glimpse into Doug and Carrie's life, into their family, and the love they have for each other."

—Ed H.

"Well written, amusingly funny, and entertaining to say the least! Definitely Carrieisms at their finest!"
