INDIAreads Review
.....In this book Erma Bombeck delivers the ultimate laugh-it-out pill manufactured out of the seemingly innocuous everyday irritants that lace our lives – a snoring spouse, the “super vision, super-hearing” mother, the sorry-i-am-late syndrome….Remember the nail versus bare wall debate that takes places in your house every time you want to put up a painting or a hook? The Frustration you experience as a working mom trying to get your kids to co-operate? The identity crisis that threatens to overwhelm you when you decide you’ve had enough of cleaning pots and dirty underwear? The horror you feel when your mom, sitting in the front seat of the car tells you to stop making faces at your baby brother, without turning her head? You will find all that and much more in this 255 page book.

The scenarios she creates are not a thing of the past or Western, they seem like instances (albeit exaggerated ones) from our everyday lives.
