content: Robert Fulghum feels like family. This book cheers me up when I am blue... brings me back to earth when I am off in space. It makes me cry and laugh at the same time. I own several of his books and have many of the stories memorized. I never tire of reading the books. This particular book started my collection (as it started Mr. Fulghum's)... and is probably the most well-worn book I own.
