Hope It’s Not Something Kinky

Backstory: I sent my dear, sweet Mumsi the link to your website and ever since she has been signing her emails “LOL Mom”.  I wasn’t quite sure she understood what it meant, so I asked her…

I got the LOL from that website about Moms’ emails - some of the Moms used it to sign off - it means Lots of Love of course, what else COULD it mean?? - hope it’s not something kinky as I don’t do kinky - have been racking my brain to think of something off-color that it could mean and just can’t come up with anything!!

If LOL is off limits for signing off, I might adopt your xxoo - it’s a nice one - love is nice too but gets boring to just put “love” all the time - variety is good, right?  So, bye for now … xxoo Mom

:-D I wish I saved the email, but about a year ago I sent my mom an email in which I typed “LOL”. My mom thought it meant “Lots of luck”. She thought I was being rude, so I received a swift reprimand via email, which prompted even more LOL on my end.

The first time I saw LOL, in 1999!, it was from a friend who really didn’t type or spell very well, and I just figured it was some kind of typo. Took me until, like, 3 or 4 years later to understand what it meant. I don’t do the whole “text speak”.

I just had this conversation with my parents. My mom, on AOL, definitely understands what LOL means. My dad, on the other hand, does not text or IM, only email for business and neccessity. My dad also thought it meant “Lots of Love” until my mom and I LOL’d at him.. :)

For a long time, my mom thought LOL meant “Little Old Lady” so that definitely didn’t get the response I was looking for!
