My Favorite Italian Mother-In-Law: A Tribute to Her Wit and Charm

By Steve Bergman

Fact: Many a mother-in-law is either disliked or finds herself the butt of jokes. This was a mother-in-law to be loved and admired. Question: What type of woman would inspire her son-in-law to accumulate 35 years worth of quotes? Answer: The inspiration was Julia's off-the-wall humor. My Favorite Italian Mother-In-Law is a collection of more than 300 zany quotes, arranged by subject matter, such as: - I never saw lightning so loud before. - I don't have to change my socks because I was in the house all day yesterday and I hardly moved. - I just wrote a letter to a my cousin Margaret in Florida. I'm not sure if she's dead or alive. - My neighbor is so good at taking care of me, he shovels my sidewalk before it snows.

Funny and Heart Warming

This is a great book. It brings back some fond memories of my two grandmothers.

This sure strikes my funny bone!

Not a cook book, but this book is a recipe for laughter. Loved it!

Heart- warming and engaging

If you want to bring a smile to your face, read this book. Before you put it down, you'll feel like you know Julia and you'll have a sense of the special relationship she, her dauther and son-in-law shared. My favorite quote: (Upon meeting an acquaintance, Julia remarks --) "Hi, how are you? You look so nice and fat!" Enjoy the read.

Heart warming and full of chuckles

Its like reading Yogisms and Stenglese, first you laugh then you get the point --- sometimes quite profound !!!

Has Broad Appeal

You don't have to be Italian to love this easy read. This will make a great gift.
