Product Description

If Mama Don't Laugh, It Ain't Funny, the debut book from syndicated humor columnist Lucy Adams, sits on par with the work of the late Erma Bombeck. In, If Mama Don't Laugh, Adams produces what critics are calling her best work yet, voicing the frustrations and successes of average families everywhere. From using cats to hunt down AWOL hermit crabs, to euthanizing pet watermelons, to sharing a meal of prescription strength crow, you'll tag along on the adventures of the Adams family through awkward family rituals, uncomfortable questions, and the perpetual mysteries of children. You'll laugh until stuff comes out of your nose as Adams humorously dissects and revels in the absurdity and chaos of modern family life. And so will your mama.

Susan Reinhardt, best-selling author of Not Tonight Honey, Wait Til I'm a Size 6, and Don't Sleep with a Bubba
Lucy Adams can bring on the belly laughs. And this is good for healing and toning the abs! Her book, If Mama Don't Laugh, It Ain't Funny, is a real mood lifter, and it beats the heck out of going to the gym.

Barry L. Paschal, Publisher, The Columbia County News-Times
This book should be subtitled: If You Don't Laugh, You Ain't Got a Pulse. There is significant honesty to Adams's portrayals of everyday life, viewed through a slightly cockeyed lens that prismatically extracts a full spectrum of humor. Readers tag along on adventures with action that rarely moves more than a few actual feet, but travels miles in figurative experience as Adams explores, pokes, and deflates awkward family rituals, uncomfortable questions and the perpetual mysteries of children. And...mama always seems to get the last laugh.

Georgia Richardson, Queen Jaw Jaw, author of A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Throne
Minivans, children, and missing pets, OH MY! From "zening" her refrigerator to abstracting peas from #2 child's nose -again, Lucy Adams's debut book, If Mama Don't Laugh, It Ain't Funny, effectively claims your attention, turns your giggle box inside out, and captures your heart. Now about your dinner guest, Mr. Watermelon...

The most realistic book on motherhood!
A must read for all moms! This is the most hilarious, moving,
honest, and realistic book on motherhood.

Lewis Grizzard is Grinning
I laughed so hard I almost broke a rib! I'm positive that the late, great Lewis Grizzard is looking down on Lucy Adams, from heaven, with a big grin on his face.
