Jennifer - Thank you so much for the very kind review. I'm so glad you enjoyed the collection. And you really made me think--I never got the connection that quite a number of the stories were mother/son related. I saw some other threads, but thanks so much for helping me see what was right under my nose all along.

With Gratitude,
Fran

PS - I'm a little ashamed for the not-supposed-to-be funny bits, too...but I so enjoyed writing them. ;-)
