Heartwarming and humorous, this tribute to moms of the world gathers the best things anyone ever said about motherhood. From Dolly Parton to Dear Abby, women (and a few men) crack wise on the subject of the center of every family, mommie dearest! Mom's the Word celebrates all motherhood with wise and witty words from the famous (Oprah Winfrey: 'Mothers are really the true spiritual leaders. ') and the funny (Erma Bombeck: 'In general, my children refuse to eat anything that hasn't danced on television. '). Also included are as well as thoughts that are meaningful (Jewish proverb: 'God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers. ') and memorable (Nora Ephron: 'If pregnancy were a book, they would cut the last two chapters. ').
