James Breakwell is perhaps best known in the parenting world by his Twitter handle, @XplodingUnicorn , where he tweets about his hilarious experiences as a dad.

According to Breakwell, the Exploding Unicorn name came from a line in a fake Biblical book he wrote in high school. He explained: For reasons that have been lost to time, I included a passage about unicorns filled with hydrogen. It ended with the line, ...and thats where we get the saying, It exploded like a unicorn. Clearly I had too much time on my hands, but the mental image stuck.

Through the Exploding Unicorn comedy brand, Breakwell has built up his audience with funny and honest accounts of parenting his four daughters. When you read about my kids, youre not really reading about my kids. Youre reading about your own children, says Breakwell. All kids are weird and quirky and unintentionally funny.
