I laughed so much while reading this book! I read it in one day, cause I just couldn't put it down.

" Little things that have no business bothering me drive me nuts. Like how, no matter how often I ask, my husband never shuts a cabinet or closet door. This means I must systematically go through the entire house slamming doors like Joan Crawford on crank and sobbing: "How (slam) inconsiderate (slam) can one (slam) person (slam) be?"
"I shouldn't wonder that he can't shut doors because he can't see things right in front of his own eyes. Why else would he ask me where his shoes are (in the closet) or the eyedrops (tee-hee in the oven) as though my ovaries are endowed with superhuman powers allowing me to see behind closed doors or drawers?"
