Erma Bombeck Quotations
• People shop for a bathing suit with more care than they do a husband or wife. The rules are the same. Look for something you’ll feel comfortable wearing. Allow for room to grow.
• No one ever died from sleeping in an unmade bed. I have known mothers who remake the bed after their children do it because there’s a wrinkle in the spread or the blanket is on crooked. This is sick.
• My theory on housework is, if the item doesn’t multiply, smell, catch on fire or block the refrigerator door, let it be. No one cares. Why should you?
• Education is so important when it comes to domesticity. 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.
• Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died.
Seize the moment. Remember all those women on the ‘Titanic’ who waved off the dessert cart.
• Giving birth is little more than a set of muscular contractions granting passage of a child. Then the mother is born.
• When mothers talk about the depression of the empty nest, they’re not mourning the passing of all those wet towels on the floor, or the music that numbs your teeth, or even the bottle of capless shampoo dribbling down the shower drain. They’re upset because they’ve gone from supervisor of a child’s life to a spectator. It’s like being the vice president of the United States.
• It is not until you become a mother that your judgment slowly turns to compassion and understanding.
• My mother phones daily to ask, “Did you just try to reach me?” When I reply, “No”, she adds, “So, if you’re not too busy, call me while I’m still alive,” and hangs up.
• Graduation day is tough for adults. They go to the ceremony as parents. They come home as contemporaries. After twenty-two years of child-rearing, they are unemployed.
• When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say, “I used everything you gave me.”

Women like silent men. They think they’re listening. ~Marcel Achard, Quote, 4 November 1956
Sure God created man before woman. But then you always make a rough draft before the final masterpiece. ~Author Unknown
A male gynecologist is like an auto mechanic who has never owned a car. ~Carrie Snow
You start out happy that you have no hips or boobs. All of a sudden you get them, and it feels sloppy. Then just when you start liking them, they start drooping. ~Cindy Crawford
