BRIAN A. KLEMS is a writer, husband, softball player, perennial fantasy sports underachiever, Huffington Post contributor, N64 Golden Eye Champion, Saved by the Bell enthusiast and father of three lovely little girls (who, thankfully, look like their mother). He's a proud graduate of the journalism school at Ohio University. He's also the online editor of Writer's Digest magazine.

Brian's first parenting humor book, OH BOY, YOU'RE HAVING A GIRL: A Dad's Survival Guide to Raising Daughters (Adams Media 2013) is on sale now and was called a "Laugh-out-loud book" by the Chicago Tribune. It was also endorsed by humor writing legend Dave Barry.

When he isn't explaining the differences between "who" and "whom" on his Writer's Digest Blog or mowing his lawn (two weeks later than he should have), he's likely playing "Ring Around the Rosy" with his daughters—or writing about it on this parenting blog.
