She is a female Dave Barry- very funny and readable. Not sure if I read anything of her before- probably not, because I would have remembered!
Scathing about life and all its majesty ( I am trying to be funny)- marriage, ageing, kids, husbands, and most everything besides, are her targets. Some of her funniest lines catch you unawares, and the fun multiplies. or instance,
" My children see me as four wheels, a motor, and a drive shaft. I am Snow White with a set of car keys." or, " I don't think women outlive men. It only seems longer."
Or about vacations- "The compulsive desire to buy a carful of souvenirs became so bad, we had to set down some explicit rules."
and "Next to children on a trip, there is nothing more trying than their father."
"Our daughter said she was going to let her hair grow. Like a fool I thought she meant down her back. Little did I dream it would cascade over her face.."
Many sterling observations like these make it a joy read!
