Finding the humor in life is a skill honed and presented by Shirley
Nicholson in "Thoughts While Waiting in the Doctor's Office." In
this collection of thirty-six essays and memoirs, Nicholson
entertains by capturing the funny events in her life and through
her observations. From puberty to dating, from marriage to
honeymoons, from housework to pets, Nicholson writes about these
events with warmth. She pokes fun of her tooth fairy stint, her
klutziness, and her parenting skills. In "I Was a Teenage Car Thief
," she tells the story of inadvertently becoming a car thief when a
salesman at her father's store gave her his car keys and permission
to drive the car. She retrieved the vehicle from the location where
she thought the salesman said he parked his car, drove it around
town, and later returned it to the store's back lot. When the
salesman left for the day, he returned and announced that the car
parked in the back lot wasn't his. Without realizing it, Nicholson
had stolen a car. Laugh along with "Thoughts While Waiting in the
Doctor's Office" as Nicholson reveals the day-to-day wit in her
comic strip of life.
