Walker Lamond’s popular blog, Rules for My Unborn Son is a collection of traditional, humorous, and urbane fatherly advice for boys. The blog has evolved into a book of the same name–and you need to put it on your must-read list!  The book is a mash-up of old school fatherly advice and hip wit from a dad who wanted give his son guidance before he became “too uncool”.

Rules for My Unborn Son began simply as Lamond’s personal blog, intended “to preserve the lessons my father had taught me, and perhaps add my spin on what makes a Good Man,” he explains.  “I hoped to have a son of my own one day, so I thought it best to write it all down before the before the mayhem of actual fatherhood made me too soft or too sanctimonious, and most importantly, before my own childhood was too distant in the rear view mirror.”

Rules in the book include:

• If you choose to wear a tie, commit. Button your top button.
• Stand up to bullies. You’ll only have to do it once.
• If you attend a late after-party, have an exit strategy
• Keep a well-stocked bar
• Thank the bus driver
• Girls like boys who shower
• Don’t spit
