Dont Forget to Call y

Very Good Book!I would suggest reading some of his other books (which are actually collections of his columns) first. Get to know the author - then, read this touching book. "Don't Forget to Call Your Mama I Wish I Could Call Mine" is more serious than the typical Grizzard book. But is a wonderful book for his fans as it gives us a very personal look at his early years. We can see how his sense of humor was developed as a way of dealing with rough times. By the way .... it is very important that all Lewis Grizzard books are read with a sourthern-drawl, they are even funnier that way! :)

This book is about Lewis Grizzard's life and how he wished he could call his mother. In his childhood, he loved his mom, but after growing up, he learned just how much she instilled in his life. He married three times and died divorced. One of his problems is that he wanted all of his problems is that he wanted all of his wives to be just like his mother, even in their cooking. He was too picky and did not seem to care much about his relationship with his wives. He never put much into it.
