Teen Speak And More Chip Leighton's New Book What Time Is Noon

Arroe Collins Like It's Live

When Chip Leighton started posting funny exchanges with his kids on TikTok in 2021, he didn’t expect it to turn into a community of parents sharing laughs—and occasionally commiseration—over the trials of raising teenagers. Leighton’s videos have now garnered over 250 million views and feature classic moments like “What time is noon?” and “Where do I buy pasta water?”. His debut book, What Time is Noon, captures these moments and much more in a hilarious collection perfect for parents, kids, or anyone who appreciates the absurdity of family life. "This book is about finding joy in the chaos," Leighton explains. "One day you’re a cool parent, and the next, your kid tells you not to wear mom jeans to their school again." Through laugh-out-loud anecdotes, silly quizzes, and playful charts, Leighton takes readers on a relatable ride through parenting teenagers—offering just enough tongue-in-cheek advice to make you feel like you’ve got it all figured out... for now. Beyond the humor, “What Time is Noon” carries an underlying message: even when teens seem distant, they still crave connection—just on their terms. Leighton uses humor as a bridge between generations, showing parents that they don’t need to have all the answers, just a willingness to laugh along the way.
