Author: Dave Barry
Dave Barry is a humor columnist for the Miami Herald, retired in 2005. In The Mother of all Parties, he writes, "Like many moms, my wife believes that a child's birthday party requires as much planning as a lunar landing -- more, actually, because you have to hire a clown." In this quote you can really hear Dave's voice come through his writing. You can envision the way he moved his hands and the tone in which he said it. It puts the two of you on a first name basis. All throughout this column he uses a conversational tone which makes it fun and interesting to read. He keeps things sarcastic as he describes the minuscule details his wife puts into the party for their soon to be 4 year old. He also pulled in a facetious quote from a birthday party planning website which actually makes you laugh out loud. Dave Barry uses sarcasm and a very conversational tone with his columns that make you want to read more.
