QOTD - Erma Bombeck

“Renaissance women were beautiful and never heard of Weight Watchers.” – Erma Bombeck, I Lost Everything in the Post-Natal Depression (1973)


Erma Bombeck began I Lost Everything in the Post-Natal Depression with these remarks:
Before you read this book, there are a few things you should know about me. 
I consider ironed sheets a health hazard.
Children should be judged on what they are—a punishment for an early marriage.
There is no virtue in waxing your driveway.
Husbands are married for better or worse—but not for lunch.
Renaissance women were beautiful and never heard of Weight Watchers.
Mothers-in-law who wear a black armband to the wedding are expendable.
Missing a nap gives you bad skin.
Men who have a thirty-six-televised-football-games-a-week-habit should be declared legally dead and their estates probated.

The lady was a legend <3
