Punchline Killer

Daughter: Mommy, I have a knock, knock joke for you.

Me: Okay. What is it?

Daughter: Knock, knock.

Me: Who’s there?

Daughter: Oh, I have to go poop.

Me: Is that the joke?

Daughter, sprinting the nearest bathroom: No…

 

(It seemed fitting to kick off this new chapter in my blogging life with an anecdote about pooping.)

    I love the new look and the knock-knock is even better. Best wishes with the new improved blog. I’m looking forward to the book, especially since the evangelicals have had body image books around for a while. A catholic take on this is so very needed.

    And that is why I love your site sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry and sometimes I laugh until I cry… like today.

Hi, I’m Kate

 

I'm the author of two nonfiction books Getting Past Perfect and Weightless, a storyteller*, overthinker, eating disorder survivor, mom of five, book junkie, socially awkward nerd as well as a speaker (so basically a walking and talking contradiction), and a perfectionist in recovery.

I am currently working towards my MFA in Fiction at Warren Wilson. Thank you to everyone who has read my drafts, offered feedback, and cheered me on. The writing life is often solitary, but I wouldn’t be here without a community of support.
