Erma!


"When my kids become wild and unruly,
I use a nice, safe playpen.
When they're finished,
I climb out."

— Erma Bombeck

HA! This photo is hilarious! "SERENITY NOW!"

And I love Erma so much--she's shaped my ideals of motherhood from the time I used to read her column in the newspaper.

All I can say is that Erma was the perfect mother! I want to be her when I grow up!

I think that the fact that this photo is slightly off-center is so ridiculously perfect. Seriously, I'm not sure it could be any better. You should have this, poster-size, on a wall somewhere. It captures motherhood almost too well! :)

Oh hi there! That is so funny! I didn't even notice that it wasn't centered! HA! That HAS to say something about my perception of life! I'm so happy you left a comment. YAHOO!
