The Great Escape 08 -- Laughter

She always made me laugh. Has any living author taken her place in the honored halls of literary humor?
From Erma Bombeck:
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 is wrinkle in the spread or the blanket is on crooked. This is sick.
One thing they never tell you about child raising is that for the rest of your life, at the drop of a hat, you are expected to know your child's name and how old he or she is.
Somewhere it is written that parents who are critical of other people's children and publicly admit they can do better are asking for it.
There is a thin line that separates laughter and pain, comedy and tragedy, humor and hurt.
