My mother always read Erma Bombeck, so naturally I had to pick up the books that made her howl with laughter.  Even as a girl/teenager, I enjoyed her writing, and I have continued to read her books and columns through adulthood.  She puts motherhood, being a wife, and a homemaker in such an hilarious light.  God bless her! — Carla, Mommy to Shawn (5) and Seth (4) I’m very brave generally, only today    I happen to have a headache. ~~ Tweedledum
