Erma Bombeck – November 2013

Posted in: Quote of The Month



The month of November is Thanksgiving time to our neighbours down south in the USA. This means a large turkey dinner with gravy for most households and the constant squabbling between family members. A funny person to discuss these events is American Humorist and bestselling author -Erma Bombeck. Bombeck achieved great popularity for her newspaper column that described suburban home life from the mid-1960s until the late 1990s. Her columns have been read by over 30 millions readers in 900 different newspapers across Canada and the USA. Bombeck’s columns have also appeared in magazines such as ‘Reader’s Digest’, ‘Redbook’ and ‘Good Housekeeping Magazine’. In addition to writing, Bombeck participated in ABC’s Good Morning America from 1975 until 1986. She began doing brief commentaries which were recorded at Phoenix, and eventually did both gag segments and important interviews. Futhermore, Bombeck participated in the Presidential Advisory Committee for Women which helped with the final implementation of the Equal Rights Amendment. In 1986, She was the grand marshal for the 97th Tournament of Roses Parade and the parade’s theme was ‘A Celebration of Laughter’. Bombeck uses this month’s quote to discuss the importance of gravy in her household…

“I come from a family where gravy is considered a beverage”. – Erma Bombeck
