An irreverent essay collection on the oddities of everyday life

Drawn from Mimi Smartypants’s online commentary, this humor collection turns a sharply personal lens on domestic life, relationships, friendship, and the small invasions of modern routine. Chicago provides the home base, alongside recurring figures including her husband, LT, her cat, and her friend Kat. The material ranges across marriage, sex, religion, beer, motherhood, and the impulse to inspect a host’s medicine cabinet, framing ordinary situations as occasions for candid comic observation. The book’s organizing perspective is Mimi’s outspoken persona: curious, nosy, and willing to treat supposedly off-limits subjects as part of daily conversation.

Book overview

Just who is this Mimi Smartypants, anyway?

She's 30 (but looks younger), 5'1" (but looks taler). She's never faced a situation she couldn't comment about -- especialy online! She lives in Chicago with her husband, LT, and her large cat, The Cat -- not to be confused with Kat (female friend, good for fashion advice, philosophical discussions, and getting into trouble in bars). She's never had a cavity and likes to look in other people's medicine cabinets. She's witty, urbane, outrageous, an international sensation; she's got a unique, smartypants take on ordinary life and its rampant surreality. And absolutely nothing is sacred or taboo -- not men, marriage, beer, religion, sex, marital aids, or motherhood.

Get ready world -- because Mimi's going to explain it all to you!
