This book is for mothers and anyone that has ever had a mother. Erma Bombeck has a lot of insight and uses humor to convey her message. You will find that you identify with many of the mothers in the book. The stories are short and each can be read in 1-2 minutes. This book will make you laugh...and maybe cry.

One of Erma's best works. A laugh or two on every page."

Erma never wrote a book that was less than excellent.
