For generations, young men have used Yo Momma jokes to torment their closest friends (e.g., “Yo momma so ugly, they filmed Gorillas in the Mist in her shower!”).

But here at Quirk, we reject these cruel and hurtful insults. We want to show yo momma the love and respect she deserves. And so we’ve created Yo Momma So Extraordinary—the first-ever book of Yo Momma compliments. This is how we roll:

❤ Yo momma so considerate, she puts sheets on the couch when I stay over so it looks like I slept on it.

❤ Yo momma so hygienic, she sings the whole birthday song while she washes her hands to ensure that they are clean.

❤ Yo momma has so many cats, it’s like DAAAAAMN! Which one should I pet first?

❤ Yo momma so old, I sometimes question if what we have together is right.

Illustrated with dozens of ridiculously funny photographs of Mommas (and the men who love them), this odd little book will make a wonderful Mother’s Day gift for the quirky momma in yo life.

ZACHARY REESE and ETHAN MCCREADIE are computer nerds living in Philadelphia. They enjoy video games, snacks, and long walks on the beach with yo momma.

Full of fluffy white clouds, desert sunsets, lightning storms, and early morning sunbeams, this handy notebook transforms the sky into a canvas for notes, musings, drawings, and doodles. And with the same durable yet elegant flexibind cover as Quirk's successful Walls Notebook, this trusty journal can be carried anywhere. It's the perfect gift for artists, writers, diarists, and dreamers—anyone with their head in the clouds.
