Oh, Lord, I Sound Just Like Mama

In OH, LORD, I SOUND JUST LIKE MAMA, authors 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, where one exhausted mother says, "I pray for boredom, but it never comes." In the chapter on health, a mother warns that "natural childbirth is unnatural." And 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 given to Mother and from Mother.
