Joyce Puts The WIT in WITTY! One of my favorite authors was Erma Bombeck mainly because she could take a hum drum day, turn it inside out and find the humor in it. Well I am sure that Erma is giving Joyce Faulkner a standing ovation right now. Throughout this book, Joyce has taken just about every situation that could be described as a lemon and truly made lemonade out of it. Sharing so much of her own personal life stories and giving each one a good taste of plain out humor made me identify so much of my own tales, and wishing I had found some of that same humor. I can't tell you how many times I found myself laughing out loud. O.K., maybe I can. About 36 times. That's the same number of short stories that are in the book. About 14 of these made me lose control and just about fall off my chair. Not just the humor itself, but the way each story embraces you and makes you remember similar stories of your own life. Now I finally met Joyce recently and want all you readers to know that I believe every single story in this book! Joyce Faulkner looks at things with a smile and a wit, and draws the positive out of any situation. A lesson we can all learn and should practice. Thanks Joyce for putting a smile on my face!
