Not Tonight, Honey: Wait 'til I'm A Size 6

Susan Reinhardt takes the naked, honest truth and sets it on fire in a blaze of laughter. Boldly, brazenly, and hilariously, she says what only the brave dare to think. –Laurie Notaro Like an edgier, naughtier, southern-bred Erma Bombeck, award-winning columnist Susan Reinhardt has made diehard fans of fellow writers and newspaper readers across the country with her wickedly skewed reports from the trenches of American family life. In this collection of never-before-published essays and stories, she takes her uncensored trademark wit just a little further than ever before–with hilarious and poignant results. From telling off a too-perfect sorority sister twenty years later to going public with her «grumpy vagina»; from facing down those who would judge her in a mall ladies' room to eulogizing her beloved smokin' granny, Reinhardt cuts straight to the heart of the sublime, the ridiculous–and the saggy–realities of being a working wife, mother, and certified slave to a culture that worships women who sport thighs the size of her upper arms. «Susan Reinhardt takes the naked, honest truth and sets it on fire in a blaze of laughter. Boldly, brazenly, and hilariously, she says what only the brave dare to think.» –Laurie Notaro «Surgical patients should forgo reading this book until all sutures are completely healed.
