Three Quotations, Day 2

11 Replies

In honor of my today’s reblog of Jan Wilberg’s hilarious essay on caring for her twin grandsons, I’m choosing Erma Bombeck as my quotable quoter today.  I don’t think my mother and two sisters and I missed one of her columns or books as I grew up and many a quip was read back and forth between us:

When my kids become wild and unruly, I use a nice, safe playpen.  When they’re finished, I climb out.
–Erma Bombeck

When humor goes, there goes civilization!

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

    Erma Bombeck is my idol! God took her from us much sooner than I would have liked. I haven’t read her books in ages so thanks for the memories.
