Confessions of a Daddy

Ellis Parker Butler

Confessions of a Daddy, written by Ellis Parker Butler, humorously explores the life of Hiram and Marthy, a couple living in a quiet Colorado town. Initially content with their childless existence, they relish the freedom from parental responsibilities and expenses. However, their perspective shifts dramatically when they unexpectedly become parents, leading to a comedic yet poignant reflection on the challenges and joys of fatherhood. Published in the early 20th century, this work showcases Butler's signature wit, similar to his well-known piece, Pigs Is Pigs.
