RfP Wednesday -- Erma Bombeck

I picked up a copy of Family - The Ties That Bind...And Gag, by Erma Bombeck, at the library the other day. I haven't read any Erma Bombeck for years, and I was probably too young to appreciate it when I did. I'm sure that I get a lot more of the jokes, now. I'm not getting many belly laughs, but I'm getting a few chuckles, and quite a few ironic smirks, as I reflect on how her family reminds me of mine -- both the one that I grew up in, and the one that is now growing up around me. So that's what I'm reading this Reading for Pleasure Wednesday.
