A child develops individuality long before he develops taste. I have seen my kid straggle into the kitchen in the morning with the outfits that need only one accessory: an empty gin bottle. A friend doesn't go on a diet because you're fat. A friend will tell you she saw your old boyfriend; and he's a priest. All of us have moments in our lives that test our courage. Taking children into a house with white carpet is one of them. Anybody who watches three games of football in a row should be declared brain dead. Before you try to keep up with the Joneses, be sure they're not trying to keep up with you. Big deal! I'm used to dust. Erma Bombeck's requested epitaph Did you ever notice that the first piece of luggage on the carousel never belongs to anyone? Don't confuse fame with success. Madonna is one; Helen Keller is the other.

   Extractions: Quotes from Erma Bombeck Spend at least one Mother's Day with your respective mothers before you decide on marriage. If a man gives his mother a gift certificate for a flu shot, dump him. My kids always perceived the bathroom as a place where you wait it out until all the groceries are unloaded from the car. Making coffee has become the great compromise of the decade. It's the only thing "real" men do that doesn't seem to threaten their masculinity. To women, it's on the same domestic entry level as putting the spring back into the toilet-tissue holder or taking a chicken out of the freezer to thaw. I don't know why no one ever thought to paste a label on the toilet-tissue spindle giving 1-2-3 directions for replacing the tissue on it. Then everyone in the house would know what Mama knows. Giving birth is little more than a set of muscular contractions granting passage of a child. Then the mother is born. Housework is a treadmill from futility to oblivion with stop offs at tedium and counter productivity. There's a territorial ritual to an aerobics class. I entered a class for the first time a few years ago and ended up where no one wanted to be...in the front row next to the mirror. It was three years before I could work my way to the back row.

    Extractions: Erma Bombeck is still the most relevant and hilarious voice in the wilderness of motherhood I picked up a copy of "Motherhood, the Second Oldest Profession" in a thrift store the other day. The title made me laugh, as it must have made millions of other book buyers laugh many, many years ago. As a British ex-pat, I failed to recognize the name Erma Bombeck. And it was only after I began to rave about her books that I learned that poor Erma, despite her bestselling past, is now considered by many to be a relic, an out-of-date purveyor of politically incorrect advice on mothering and housekeeping. While she may have been amusing for a decade or so, Erma Bombeck, I now know, is no longer an appropriate humorist for today's mothers. She is instead a caricature of women as they should not be. But approached with an untainted mind, Erma Bombeck's writing is honest, timeless and wickedly humorous. What woman with both a sense of humor and children could possibly reject titles like "I Lost Everything in the Postnatal Depression" and "The Grass is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank"? What mother could reject without a pang of empathy or relief Bombeck's frequent admissions of being an imperfect and slovenly mum? And for the dwindling but proud regiment of less-than-perfect mothers, she is something of a voice in the wilderness a patron saint, if you will.

"I never ironed my husband’s pajamas.

For over 30 years Erma Bombeck made us laugh; she also made us think. On this Mothers’ Day, I want to pay tribute to my favorite columnist who died two years ago last month at a much-too-young 69. And what better way to honor Bombeck than to share her own words on her own favorite subject, motherhood. What kind of mother would . . . ? Bombeck liked to poke fun at those who overly idealized mothers, people (usually mothers-to-be or first-time mothers blessed with a compliant child) whose unrealistic and perfectionistic notions encouraged them to condemn those who did not measure up. Quoting the words of one such pharisee, Bombeck wrote, "Did you see the story in the paper about the woman who forgot one of her children in a laundromat restroom? She dares call herself a mother! How disgusting! What kind of mother would . . .?"

When humor goes, there goes civilization. A grandmother pretends she doesn't know who you are on Halloween. Marriage has no guarantees. If that's what you're looking for, go live with a car battery. I have a theory about the human mind. A brain is a lot like a computer. It will only take so many facts, and then it will go into overload and blow up. Shopping is a woman thing. It's a contact sport like football. Women enjoy the scrimmage, the noisy crowds, the danger of being trampled to death, and the ecstasy of the purchase. If a man watches three football games in a row, he should be declared legally dead. Email this page of Erma Bombeck quotations to a friend.
