What Time Is Noon?: Hilarious Texts, Ridiculous Feedback, and Not-So-Subtle Advice from Teenagers
Chip Leighton started performing online as a lark, and not because he "craved validation through TikTok" as his daughter claimed (with snark). When sharing the funny, weird, crazy things his kids said and texted, he quickly learned he was not alone. Since launching, his channel has become the go-to support group for adults who have teenagers in their lives--wholly confirming that teens everywhere say the darndest things. Parents worldwide use Leighton's posts to laugh, commiserate, and share their own kids' classics, like "what time is noon" or "do I have medicare?" What a relief to learn that it's perfectly normal for teens to roast their parents mercilessly ("Don't wear mom jeans to my school again") or ask wild questions ("where do I buy pasta water"). In this debut collection, Leighton showcases these gems, along with tongue-in-cheek advice, charts and graphs, and silly quizzes. For readers who appreciate the real-life humor of books like Sh*t My Dad Says or the standup of family-friendly comedians like Jim Gaffigan or Nate Bargatze, this book is the ultimate gift for parents, kids, or anyone who likes to laugh.

In a time when raising adolescents can feel more harrowing than humorous, TikTok sensation Leighton provides comedy and maybe a few insights into the world of teens.--Library Journal, starred review
This book is literally low-key hilarious. I was dead after reading it, no cap. (Don't tell my teen daughters I said that.) But do read this book. You'll laugh, you'll cry (from laughing) and you'll definitely feel less alone in the head-spinning chaos of raising teenagers.--Carla Naumburg, PhD, Author of How to Stop Losing Your Sh*t With Your Kids
Chip Leighton has turned the tumultuous teenage years into hilarious entertainment. As the mother of a teenager, it is beyond relatable and comforting. He's so naturally funny and dry, he's the comedic vermouth in a martini-and one that's much needed by many parents.--Caroline Rhea, stand-up comedian
This book is so friggin funny. Donnie [Wahlberg] and I have been sitting here reading it and cracking up!! You can't make this stuff up. Buy this book if you want a laugh. Buy it for a parent with teens who needs a laugh. Or buy it for anyone sending their kid off to college. Even better, buy it for a kid going to college. It just might give them answers to their crazy questions before they text them home.--Jenny McCarthy, Actress, Model, and Television Personality
