Fortunately, the Milk by Neil Gaiman J Gai

Mom's out of town and Dad didn't hear her reminder to get more milk. So how can the kids eat their breakfast cereal? Dad sets out to the corner grocery for milk while the kids wait, and wait, and wait. When he finally returns -- much later than expected -- he tells a whopper of a story that explains why he was gone so long.
The story Dad tells is certainly entertaining and very far-fetched. This book is a quick read and a quirky read. There didn't seem to be much point to the story, or maybe I missed the point, but I didn't really think it was so great. Lots of other people do, though, based on ratings on Amazon and Goodreads. Guess it just isn't my cup of tea, with or without the milk.
