Do Not Read: Sometimes My Mom Drinks Too Much
/ fallontonight
At first I found the drunk mom book funny but then realised children's books are a powerful tool and can help their emotional development. It's a book to help children with alcoholic parents who can't relate to normal stories of normal parents and used in therapy. I think the authors intention to help these kids is really great and it makes me sad.
alcoholism isn't funny. especially for a child who depends on his/her mother. if only he could have added a serious tone before he through the book down about alanon or other ways of helping people in that situation. i guess he found it funny since his mother isn't a alcoholic.
Mary Ayodele Objective empathy there is laughter even in tragedy
No. There is no laughter for a child about their alcoholic mother. Alcoholism just isn't funny.
well yeah, when it clicked in my brain that it wasnt about us just drinking to avoid a bit of stress, but about real alcoholism I didn't find it funny. I think I explained why it was sad pretty clearly
mm1996 I was just about to make a comment like this but you phrased it so well.
That mom drinking book is actually really sad because it is trying to serve a purpose for kids in that situation.
It is so fucked up that they are making fun of it
It' better be good, cuz I just paid, like, fifty-some USD for it... :)
As someone in recovery, I thank God I don't have kids. I have done things while drinking that are so much worse than the mom in this story. I have met many people who's parents drank when they grew up while on my recovery journey and most are still hurting.
Am I the only one that thinks that rock painting would actually be a good time
YUP!
Deanna Falk lol I thought it looked like fun too.
Deanna Falk I instantly thought those would look cute in those fairy garden things.
Deanna Falk my son would love folk painting on rocks
Deanna Falk yes😂😂😂
The drunk mom book is a therapy book. When I worked as a children's counsellor at a shelter for abused women & children, we had a lot of those books (that exact one, maybe). They were just used as ways for counsellors to approach difficult subjects with children that the children are already dealing with at home. So there were ones about Daddy hitting Mommy, or ones about being homeless, etc. They're just for a very, very specific market, not for bedtime reading!
Don't Judge Me Yoshi
Stan Buczak - Eat it off the floor! 😂
You don't even know what i've been through!
That's my new motto

The second one is a book to help kids with alcoholic parents :(
I'm mad that Fallon missed the opportunity to say, "Your house rocks!" for that rock joke
That Mom book is tragic!😂😱😥
It would be a great gag gift.
Valencia Shanta feel like this is a psychology book on environments for kids.
Tragically hilarious!
Someone should combine the first three books together. Doing electrical experiments with metal lawn chairs when my mom has drank too much.
Tim Scrivener na you to want to offend anyone here they can't take a joke
Tim Scrivener hahaha genius
Yikes, that's even more dangerous!
* Watches the bit. Looks at his childhood library. Turns back to the bit. Back to the bookshelf. *
Well.. that explains the therapy.
New Message Lmao!! Your name tho
kudos for you name and profile pic LOL
I see you everywhere wtf
As a kid who grew up as the child of an alcoholic, "Sometimes My Mom Drinks Too Much" hits me hard.
same I hope everything turned out okay
@@rclarke4113 Sadly.. I'm suffering too
@@mahima4519 I'm so sorry please get the help you need to stay safe I'm trying but I know it's difficult
@@rclarke4113 Most difficult to survive
"the first chapters are nuts"
"does it come in a hard cover" 😂😂😂😂
I think I would have liked to have the book about the alcoholic mom when I was a child since my dad is a alcoholic and I thought I was the only child that had a parent like this and I didn't really know what was going on. I think this book would have helped me realizing that there are kids out there that go through the same stuff as I did...
I’m a rock painter with rocks all over my house and my five-year-old niece loves playing with them! I offer trick-or-treaters a choice between a painted rock or candy and they choose a rock every single time! (Except bitty toddlers.)
The children’s book about the drinking mom is actually sad and a great idea for children of alcoholic parents. They are confused at that age and they have a book telling a relatable story, and one they can perhaps learn from.
These two have the most fun job in the world
To be fair I actually thought the rock one was cool, really artistic
i think many of us did. I saw the book of painting rocks and went "thats awesome !"
I love the banter between Jimmy & Higgins ...need more laughs now than ever 😊
I think the "my mom drinks too much" one was the authors way to kind of secretly write about her life as a kid with a drunk mom. I feel sorry for the author or whoever its about.
"Nuts" XD
I read the last book. Changed me.
Set my life in the right derection.
"Don't judge me yoshi!!" Hah
Steve: Who wrote it? Dick Elliott?
Jimmy: Dirk Elliott
Steve: Oh Dirk, Dirk.
Jimmy: You should try reading, it's it's uuh .. The first couple chapters are nuts
Steve & Jimmy: Just nuts!
Steve: One Second is that a hardcover?
Jimmy: No, that's not a hardcover
'
Me: I'm dead laughing
CANNOT WAIT FOR THE METAL LAWN CHAIR VOLUME TWO WOOOOO
If the cover of Vital Merger is a picture of a botanical experiment, that would make them "Test Trees"
Second book doesn't belong in this segment tbh. Some kids actually need to read about those kind of things, sadly. Can't believe the audience laughing that hard.
Flying Monkey Squirrel I hear what you're saying. I still find it sad that they laugh so hard though. I bet it helped at least some kid out there.
Super Moosie empathy and sympathy laughter...truth which is absurd naturally creates laughter thus Kevin Hart or happy oppressed people
boy the last book sure got a rise out of me.
Well, don't be so teste
I'd tell you about his penetrating style but I don't want to spoil the climax.
I'm more surprised they didn't make a "wood" joke.
the one about drinking this is a real issue not funny i love your show but you were off on this one
yep. i agree. i've never seen his show. only this clip on the news. this was sad.
i really like jimmy fallon but this was a bit insensitive
Toby Bedell there is laughter even in tragedy
Nysi Tay YES !!!!
The "Sometimes my mum drinks too much" book isn't that funny when your mom's an alcoholic.
100%
Literally
Any one else think the book about the drunk mom isn't funny?
Yes that book is funy because this is children book. That history is not for children.
yes it was in poor taste to make light of this book. There are kids out there that are dealing with this very situation.
I know, there's nothing funny about alcoholic parents.
Absurdity is funny to a lot of folks.
I laughed somewhat tentatively, I guess because it was sort of absurd and out of place. But as someone whose parents really did drink too much sometimes when I was a kid, I did feel pretty sad and uncomfortable at the same time. When I really think about that cake story, it's pretty fucking heartbreaking. Everyone laughing, hiding something really quite destructive. It's like a nightmare, really. I actually thought the illustration captured that super well too.
That's not to say that they shouldn't have had the book on the show or anything. Such is life. It's nice to laugh about dark stuff sometimes. But I do think there was a bit of flippancy there in the way it was handled on the show.
Anyway, it's nice to know there's a book about it, actually, because I didn't even fully appreciate that alcohol/drugs were a big factor in the way my parents acted sometimes until I was much older. I hope it helps some kids, and I know there are plenty out there who have it far worse than I ever did. Sad stuff.
OMG the last one, i have misspelled for the first time because of the cover LOL
Tanya Sparrow
The I is supposed to be capitalized but okay..
I can just see myself trying to keep a straight face if I had to read drunk mom book to my former students 🤣 That pic tho!
HE ISN'T JOKING ABOUT ALCOHOLISM, HE'S JOKING ABOUT THE BOOK. Relax
APisceanSlant right geeeeez folks 😅
Damn that Yoshi
'Who did you go see?'
How did Jimmy not reply 'AC/DC'??
I had that electricity book. There was also a chemistry book. It called for carbon tetrachloride and my dad said NO.
I'm pretty sure my research project will make it to the Do Not Read list
a kid growing up with an alcoholic parent is not something to joke about. it's a very scarring and embarrassing thing that a lot of kids go through. some don't even know it's not a normal thing that parents do until it's too late. that book could help a kid understand that what their parent does isn't normal and that they should talk to someone about it. i know that it would have really helped me when i was younger.
Ammonium chloride is actually really easy to buy. You use to make Salmiak licorice. It's also used to break down calcium based stones in animals, usually goats and chickens but has been used in humans.
I was going to make a joke about the last book, but I'm shooting a blank
Forward to 2019 and people around the world are painting on rocks and giving them away by hiding them for others to find, me included. 😂
After the show
Jimmy: OMG "just nuts" I've been working on that all day
Higgins is THE best 🙌🏼😂 i burst out loud on the last one 😂
We have "sometimes my mom drinks too much" in my speech room 😂
Jimmy: "He played a saxophone right in my ear! It DIDN'T feel so good!"
:-O
THAT’S the house where Charlie Brown got a rock on Halloween!!
DarthAlbin I give trick-or-treaters a choice between a painted rock or candy and they choose a rock every time. 😊
I literally just choked on my breakfast..LMAO!! Sometimes my mom drinks too much...whaaat?? lol
Hey Jimmy, Metal lawn chairs last forever. When painted.
The Irony of the second book is delicious. Nearly as delicious as the Manhattan under the desk.
Keep in mind that while you are watching this video, there is some child being abused right now by an alcoholic parent.
I don't think it's nice to make fun about alcoholism. Children feel alone with the problem when their parents drink
This absolutely killed me. I'm dead. Funniest ever!
Interaction between Higgins and Fallon are always the best. You notice when they have to hurry and when the have time for joking around. If you ask me, they could fill a whole show with just spontaneous talking about random stuff ^^
And I would like to see them switching places one day. Higgins as Host, Fallon as Co-host =)
electricity experiments for kids actually seems like a good one. I did things like making an electric motor with my Dad when I was in elementary school.
Lol I actually had the electricity experiments book as a kid almost 30 years ago. It has some cool stuff in it!
You could say the last book was mind blowing
Frostzer RotMG Private Servers wowwwwwww
The best part of the last book is the climax
the book cover gets harder the more you handle it
The metal lawn chair advancements!
When they got to "Vital Merger" I was through 😂😂😂😂😂
At least it's in a nice decanter! 😂
I didn't see anything funny about the book about alcoholism...
Meghan Hirsh I found it funny at first then realised it's actually really sad.
Yeah, me neither.
Matthias81 are you Yoshi?? Stop judging Yoshi!! lol
I enjoyed this! Thanks for the laughs! :)
Painting rocks is actually a great craft to do with kids. My grand daughter and I belong to a group on Facebook called NorCal Rocks. We paint something (some are really pretty) and then we hide them in our town. We post it on the page and it becomes a scavenger hunt. It is inexpensive and something we can do together.
That last one and the jokes were hilarious 😂😂
I'd totally read the metal lawn chair book!
3:30 isn't that the MONSTA CABLES voice?
Classic old time comedy. Love this!
1:50 Meg Ryan.
Oh my gosh, I forgot about "sometimes my mummy drinks too much" it was in my English class when I was 12. I think it's actually still there.
I saw that mom book in school. It was for children living with an alcoholic parent. The child was blameless and had mixed emotions, so it's okay for you to be sad, angry or embarrassed. It also helps teachers identify children who need different supports.
At first glance it's weird to see that title on a children's book, but it's not a Good Night Spoon type of book.
The electricity one 😂 "This is great because I'm always encouraging my kids to play with electricity more" 😂😂😂
Jimmy's impression of Erika was the greatest thing that I've heard all week (2021)
Isnt it obvious that the book about the alcoholic mom isnt funny. It's to help support children who have to grow up with alcoholic parents.
You could remove all the rest and make a show of just Jimmy and Steve doing these comments on books, pictures, tweets, etc. It would be GOLD. A couple of comedians should do it and make a youtube show in this format. Like Bill Burr and some other comedian.
Higgins you're amaziiiiiiiing!!!! LMAO! Kiss from Brazil!
It should be *#* Sometimes my mom drinks too much!
Lmao there is a children's book called "Will you play with my ball" and u guys should read it😂😂😂
sʜɪғᴀ there to busy playing with there ding a ling ling ( it's A Song )
Actually the part where they make fun of the science book is a bit sad to me. As long as the experiments are actually safe (while performed under adult supervision of course), why would you not want your kids to learn firsthand about science?
Jimmy: "I love crafts!"
oh no the phandom is coming
S Wheatley I am crafting
I have always wondered about the history of lawn chairs!!!!. 😬😬😬😬
duuuuude my name is Yoshi!!!
I’m a rock painter. I actually have that book and I love it. Definitely a book to read and own. 😊
I love Jimmy and Higgins!!
Actually, I thought the first book sounded pretty good.
Kenny G played a saxophone right in my ear!
Ammonium chloride is delicious actually. It's a major component of candy in parts of Europe. Its common name is "salmiak", short for "sal ammoniac".
If "ammonium chloride" sounds scary, consider that table salt is "sodium chloride" :)
Yeah, but it isn't as colloquial. Most people may not even know that there is a difference between ammonia and ammonium.
This is one of the best segments!
Did you pick that book bc the mom laughing on the floor looks like your good friend Drew Barrymore?
love love love this segment!
Sorry, but I love the rock painting book. Looks adorable!
The drunk mom book is alllll too real for me and really wasn't that hilarious. My mom was a sloppy mess my entire childhood and my friends remember it to this day.
Lol the first couple of chapters are nuts! But then it gets a little hairy from there🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣 I crack myself up
Am I really that early? well I don't know what to say...
Hello from Germany!!

Hallo aus Berlin😂
I'd like painting houses on rocks ... and my dad would love the one on metal lawn chairs 😂... to which the rest of us would just nod...uhuh that's interesting dad... yup... yup I saw your book.
I had that electricity experiment book as a kid!
Omg when they into character... I can't even 🤣😂🤣 hard cover 🤣
C'Mon...the Drunk book is too much of a vulnerable topic and so many kids don't know how to deal with their guardians in this way. 🙏🏾😥😨
My Nana and I love art books and she actually had some similar to the house rock painting ones, except they are painting animals on rocks. It's actually super fun and cute xD My Nana is one of the best artists I've ever seen
😂😂😂😂😂 their battery dialogue voice.
The mom on the floor laughing looks like the illustrator was drawing Christian Johnston from "Third Rock from the Sun."
