By Julie Klam
I keep one Kindle in my bathroom because I need to keep my mind occupied no matter what I’m doing.
Read into that what you will.
Yesterday I decided to reread my niece’s book (see title of this post).
I first read it about 15 years ago but since my brain is like oatmeal it all seemed new to me.
You will be surprised to know that I am not a laugher.
I love anything funny but few things make me laugh out loud which is why my father always said that he was worried that I would marry Jack the Ripper if he made me laugh.
Well this book makes me laugh out loud every few pages.
It made me glad that I’m divorced because my ex husband had one thing he simply would not accept which was anyone laughing on the toilet.
In fact, if I was in the bathroom the first time I read it I would have been divorced 3 years earlier.
I want to be clear about this.
I am not writing this to push my niece’s book.
I am writing this because if you’re reading my blog I love you and am sharing a good time with you.
Plus I am lording it over you because I actually hang out with Julie and se is every bit as funny in person.
Now Zen

Plus Julie’s new foster
Your niece Julie Klam is a wonderful writer and human being. Her book Please Excuse My Daughter was my introduction to her books (and I think her first book?). I’ve read each one since, and loved them all. Julie is very funny. It’s a pleasure to laugh out loud at a line she writes. As I’ve said before, the Smith/Klam family is an extraordinary group.
I love you
You make me laugh always!! R
