Ever wonder what happens when an average wife and mother goes berserk ... and writes it all down? You're about to find out.
Humor writer Patricia Lorenz writes in the Foreword: I love this book. This funny, funny book. (Note the incomplete sentence, Linda?) Every story is funny. The way Linda Au looks at life should be bottled and sold as a panacea for eternal youth. I bet she never gets ulcers because of her funny, irreverent outlook on every single event in her life, big or small.
She makes things like her husband's tool chest and his TV-watching habits funny as all get-out.... She makes teaching her mom how to use a computer, the art of folding sheets, a letter to Santa, renewing her wedding vows in Vegas, a head cold, a water bed, a wedding ring, soap operas, roller-skating, people-watching, bathrobes, fishing trips, and even lunch at the nuclear power plant the funniest things since whoopee cushions were placed on all the nursing home chairs.
You're going to love this book and no doubt you'll be as jealous of Linda Au as I am.
