What an interesting collection of short stories! If you are/were a teacher, live in a rural community, or have kids - you will have some good chuckles at Betty's well crafted stories. Great Christmas gift for teachers too!

A great casual read to have on your coffee table. Every chapter is its own slice-of-life story seen through the author's unique humourous lens. Her inner monologue can turn every little life event, from using a public washroom, to getting pulled over for speeding, into a rib-tickling adventure.
