Mama Told Me Not To Come

       If we turned the famed ‘Lucy and Ethel’ loose on an unsuspecting Europe or Mid East, they couldn’t do any more damage than our heroines, DeeDee Otero and Megan James.

       With DeeDee naively thinking she can find a husband by declaring her desire for babies, and Megan’s skepticism about men, these two are an unlikely pair.

    DeeDee claims “Nothing ever happens to me.” So she assumes she can keep the accident-prone Megan safe, while Megan tries valiantly to acquaint DeeDee with the real world of Cold War Europe, military secrets, spies, and social protocols that DeeDee wishes to ignore. Each gradually changes the other.

     From burlesque in Berlin to PLO in Bethlehem, from Athens to Morocco, these two work their own magic and mayhem, getting themselves into disaster after disaster, along with Megan’s Fiat, Bosco, and the military members and DoDDS teachers who people their world. In spite of their differences, or perhaps because of them, they find a friendship to last a lifetime. These two will keep  you laughing, and shaking your head.

       Go ahead. Have a laugh on  us.
