Classic Erma Bombeck on . . . Absolutely wonderful!
Love, Honor, and Obey---Yes. But who said anything about windows?
In this hilarious look at her 44-years-and counting marriage to a man she wouldn't trade for anything in the world (who would finish her sentences?) Erma offers observations as only she can on the subjects of . . .
*The true test of compatibility---buying a house that "needs work"
*Surviving parenthood, and the nest that won't stay empty
*Elevating guilt to a sacrament
*What to do with a man who saves instruction manuals, thinks a fishing license makes a great anniversary gift and, thanks to the remote control, has never seen a television commercial
*Frazzled mothers wondering who they have to sleep with to get fired from the job
*Facing maternity, mortality, and metamorphosis together
