She gets anxious about running out of ball bearings about snakes sneaking in through the pipes about making meaningful conversation on New Year’s Eve. Ever since she was a child, Erma Bombeck has been an expert worrier, and married life has only honed that skill. The hilarious #1 New York Times bestseller: Erma Bombeck’s take on marriage and family life is “fun from cover to cover” (Hartford Courant).

Here is a quick description and cover image of book If Life Is a Bowl of Cherries What Am I Doing in the Pits? written by Erma Bombeck which was published in 1971–. Hilarious, heartwarming and wise, this is a wonderful collection of three of Erma Bombeck’s best, and a thoroughly entertaining read.Brief Summary of Book: If Life Is a Bowl of Cherries What Am I Doing in the Pits? by Erma Bombeck No matter if you are the mother of toddlers or teenagers, and regardless of whether you are a stay at home mum or work full time, it is easy to relate to Erma’s light-hearted diatribes. My children regularly ambush me with the need for a costume/cake/working model of a rocket ship the night before it is needed, my husband can never find anything on a shelf in the pantry or fridge without my help and I haven’t seen the floor in my teenage daughter’s room for years. Despite the generation gap and the seismic changes in society, her domestic commentary is still as relevant as it was 40 years ago. It’s delightful to discover just how timeless Erma Bombeck’s sense of humour is. The Erma Bombeck Collection includes two of the books I already own – The Grass Is Always Greener over the Septic Tank, and If Life Is a Bowl of Cherries, What Am I Doing in the Pits? and a third I hadn’t managed to get a hold of Motherhood: The Second Oldest Profession.

Over the years I have managed to collect five of her books, and read 2 others (courtesy the library). After that I kept an eye out for anything else by Erma, at that stage (in the late 1980’s) she had published 8 books but they were difficult to find in Australia. In fact I think it was probably the first book that actually made me laugh out loud. I hadn’t really read anything by a humourist before and I wasn’t expecting to find much in a book written by an old (from my perspective), American housewife amusing but I did. I’m not sure how old I was when I stumbled across one of Erma Bombeck’s books, The Grass Is Always Greener over the Septic Tank, in a second hand bookstore though I think I was maybe in my mid teens.
