Review # 1 was written on 2009-06-16 00:00:00 Rod Zulinick This book was a quick read. Very funny, as Bombeck always was to me. She also tells some sad and insightful things in this book. Of course there is special significance to me trying to get into the mind of a mother, and mothers everywhere, but this book felt a little dated. There are many more books from the more recent generation that tell these stories, but this one captures a moment in time, and what the interpretation was then. It was while I was growing up and my sisters were being born, so it definately made me think a lot about how my mother dealt with situations and how she learned things. All in all, read the book, and don't be so self-conscious that you cant' laugh or cry! It makes the book better!

Review # 2 was written on 2010-03-31 00:00:00 Edwin Judd I have fond memories of seeing this book on my mother's night stand and decided to revisit it. Not having kids of my own did not in any way detract from the classic humor and endearing quality of Ms. Bombeck's stories. As a matter of fact I think that should I ever be blessed/cursed with motherhood I might actually feel a little better prepared having read a little Erma. At the very least it helps me understand what my (and every other) mother goes through in a deeply personal and absolutely hilarious way. A must-read for every adult human.
