My husband bought this for me to keep me entertained (and off the phone) during all the driving I do for work. It was terrific - funny, heartfelt, and diverting. I let my mother borrow it - she said it was "interesting to hear about mothers these days" - I am not sure from that comment, but it might be that this CD is funnier to younger moms. I still crack up remembering storyteller Kevin Kling describing his mother's purse in his Minnesotan accent - priceless!

My husband gave this to me for Mother's Day this year. It's a wonderful collection of two discs full of stories and anecdotes, and they are all different enough from each other that listening does not get old. There were some segments I actually listened to twice. My favorite was probably "Mother's Day vs. Fishing Seaon Opener." Maybe that's because I live in Minnesota, but I'm sure it has universal appeal. The segment "Mementos Honor Sons Lost to War" brought tears to my eyes, as did the story about the grandma with Alzheimer's. There may have been a few segments that were not true driveway moments for me, but every single one of them was worth a listen. And a few of them have left pretty deep imprints in my mind. I recommend this collection!
