NO MATTER HOW MUCH WE LOVE HER, most of us swear to ourselves that we're never going to be anything like Mother. But sooner or later, we discover that we have inherited not only her voice and eyes and curly hair, but her habits and philosophies are beginning to show through as well. And finally, the worse of all--we say something that makes us put our heads in our hands and acknowledge the truth: we sound just like Mama. In Oh, Lord, I Sound Just Like Mama, Alpern and Blumenfeld have pulled together a hilarious collection of quotes and anecdotes from every sort of mother (and daughter). There's the chapter on children, in which one exhausted mother says, "I pray for boredom, but it never comes." In the chapter on marriage, one mother says, "All I ever got out of this marriage was dishes, grease, and garbage--and, of course, my children." Still another woman tells her daughter: "My wedding was not mine, it was my mother's. Yours will be mine." There's also a section on the sayings and recollections of such famous daughters and mothers as Julia Child, Phyllis Diller, Helen Gurley Brown, Roberta Flack, Glenda Jackson, Madeline Kahn, Loretta Lynn, Liz Carpenter, Helen Hayes, and many more. Full of fun and nostalgia, this is the perfect gift book to be give to Mother and from Mother. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
