Laugh out loud funny (

Jen-Lynn | Aug 1, 2022 |

Fun book written with the Southern woman's point of view. The first section is devoted to motherhood and all of the things she said she would never do. Giving her child soda pop or French fries. The horror of not getting the proper toy in the happy meal. Then there's a section devoted to south. She talks about how a number of things that were supposed to be bad actually aren't, eggs and butter come to mind. How she helps out a redneck woman who's having car trouble only to be led on a wild goose chase for the woman's ex-boyfriend. Then the last section is everywhere else. this part is kind of all over, from cold and flu medicine to buying a greeting card to Subarus. Funny quick read. (

This was a really funny book. I learned about measurements - a tad, smidgen, passel mite, a right smart, a mess, a whole heap, etc. A quote on endearments: "A Southerner can get away with the most awful insult as long as it is prefaced with the words "Bless her/his heart". And what about "I swanee" vs "I swear"? And I could really relate to the essay on Southerner vs Snow. Ms. Rivenbark has several other interesting sounding books that I must read. (

I wasn't sure what to expect with this book. At first glance, I thought it was going to be a collection of essays about why Southerns are the way we are (history lesson, maybe?). However, the book is actually a collection of funny "slice-of-life" moments from columnist Celia Rivenbark's adventures as wife, mother and Southerner. The book is broken into three sections: At Home, The South, And Everywhere Else. Of the three sections, I enjoyed At Home, where she mainly writes about her husband and daughter, the best. I loved Celia's wit and sarcasm. Her humor reminded me of novelist Meg Cabot. I'm planning to read more Celia Rivenbark books in the future. (

It is a well known fact that, if you live in the South, you can say as many bad or downright nasty things you want about a person...as long as those comments are preceeded or followed by the words "Bless his/her heart...."
Well....bless the author's heart ...I expected to find all sorts of wonderfully Southern catty remarks. I was very disappointed. This book just doesn't cut it. I hoped to say, "That sounds just like Aunt Bonnie, bless her heart." or "Bless her heart, ain't it just the truth!" Unfortunately, I couldn't do that. What could be hysterically funny (Cat Toothbrushing or Meow!) barely made me smile. (
