Some Day You'll Thank Me For This

By the authors of Being Dead Is No Excuse, a hilarious guide to that incomparable creature - THE SOUTHERN MOTHER!

Southern society is arranged along matriarchal lines, since the Southern matriarch is a far more formidable being than the much nicer Southern male.  She has to be this way; she was put on earth with a sacred mission: to drum good manners and the proper religion - ancestor worship - into the next generation.

Gayden & Charlotte deliver up a hilarious treatise - complete with appropriate recipes from those finicky, demanding moms - on the joys, trials, and tribulations of begin the daughter of a Southern mother.

Signs that you are the daughter of a Southern mother:

• You are obsessed with who got Aunt Boo Boo's silver tea service.
• You never leave home without making your bed.
• You know about deviled egg plates, pledge pins and the importance of middle names.
• You believe some undeserving Yankee family is still using the silver that their ancestors stole from yours.
