What editors are

saying about Tim...

"Tim Bete is to parenting as Michael Jackson is to the music industry -- he's won more awards than anyone can count, he's amazing at what he does, and most of all, he's hilarious, too! The world needs more people like this guy!"

-- Scott Sevener, editor-in-chief, Just Laugh magazine

"I am thrilled to be able to share the humor and artistry of Tim Bete with the visitors of my Web site, CatholicMom.com. Tim succeeds at transforming the myriad routines and mishaps that fill any parent's day into side-splitting humor the whole family will enjoy. Tim Bete's work beautifully compliments our site's theme of celebrating parenthood."

-- Lisa Hendey, publisher, CatholicMom.com

"Tim Bete's humor writing is fresh and more importantly laugh-out-loud funny. He writes from the perspective of a loving parent who is able to see the lighter side of dealing with kids, which is exactly what we want at Parentinghumor.com."

-- Kellie Head, publishing editor, Parentinghumor.com

"Tim Bete brings to his writing a sense of humor that is at once clean, kind and insightful. He's got a keen eye to portray even the most usual family behavior in a most unusual way. Overworked and overwhelmed parents should make reading Tim's humor a regular event for the laughter will surely turn them into calm and collected Moms and Dads (or at least give them an idea or two on gaining the upper hand in their households)."

-- Mark Brennaman, publisher, WitWords.com

"Tim's column is consistently among the top-rated places on our Web site. I have no doubt that Tim's contribution continues to draw new readers to Catholic Exchange."

-- Tom Allen, president, CatholicExchange.com
