Finding Humor in Everyday Life

With Lucy Adam's honest and engaging writing style, you can't help but relate to the tales she tells. She taps into the insecurities of both the kid and the parent in all of us. And her short vignettes are ever so easy to digest. Lucy's background in psychology shows whether she's referring to Spiderman, 'The Wheels on the Bus,' birth order or self actualization. She has the uncanny ability to be self-righteous and self-deprecating at the same time. Over and over again, I readily joined with her laughing at herself. Lucy describes universal family rituals - and the frustrations and successes of average families everywhere. She gives examples that we all know and covers topics that resonate. Family dynamics - Southern or otherwise - have never looked so funny.

If Erma Bombeck and Jeff Foxworthy came together.....

...you'd get Lucy Adams. My dear hubby, who usually reads nothing but magazines with "PC" or "Computer" in the title, picked this book up off my nightstand to-read stack. He kept me awake giggling, snorting, guffawing - at one point literally falling off the bed. He laughed so hard the bed shook. He had tears streaming down his face. He was laughing so hard that he couldn't read what was so funny to me...he just handed me the book and I tried to read it while the bed vibrated from his poorly stifled spasms of mirth. I enjoyed it even more when I got a turn to read it. Thank you, Lucy, for adding this gem to the treasure that is Southern Humor.
