UNDER THE BED
A Collection of Humorous Essays
by Catherine Ortega

Finished and coming eventually…

“The human race has only one really effective weapon and that is laughter.” – Mark Twain

“…It cures a multitude of ills…” – Audrey Hepburn

Do you laugh or cry?
 – when you can’t open a package?
 – when you lose a sock in the washing machine?
 – when you get ripped off by a vending machine?
 – when your Christmas tree lights don’t work the year after you buy them?
 – because you and/or your other are obsessed with coffee or chocolate?

I vote for laughing – every time.

Why do I call the collection Under the Bed? Yeah, I know: some people don’t have an under the bed. Smart munchkins, aren’t they? They have drawers instead. For the rest of us, especially for those who have a shortage of storage space, under the bed can end up as a collection of funny oddball stuff, like my collection of essays. And if you have kids…OMG…just join me as I sift through under their beds!

I am working on my second collection, featuring my father-in-law, who has declared outright war against the squirrels in his yard.
