Yeah Chris is cute. Are you gay? I’d be all over him if I was your age. But then maybe you are all over each other and you are still just friends. Or that unrequited love thing. Sniff. None of my business. He seems like a nice guy. I always forget I’m wearing my prescription sunglasses. It is considered rude in some cultures to hide your eyes. By the way, if you are gay, no problems for me as long as you have kids.

Well, now I need to know: is he gay and are he and Chris doing it?
July 21, 2008 at 4:31 pm
My guess? Absolutely!
July 21, 2008 at 4:32 pm
I so wish that was how my mom reacted…
July 21, 2008 at 4:49 pm
Just have the babies! Love this mom!
July 21, 2008 at 4:52 pm
I assumed that the mom was talking to her daughter and wondering if she was gay because why else wouldn’t she be hitting it with the cute Chris?
July 22, 2008 at 9:17 am
That’s what I thought too Amanda.
July 22, 2008 at 9:18 am
The best part is the “by the way…” both my mother and father have a nack for delivering life changing information preceeded by “by the way”
July 22, 2008 at 9:41 am
@Amanda: That’s exactly what I thought.
July 22, 2008 at 11:10 am
I love how she goes from her acceptance of her child’s potential homosexuality, to her sunglasses, and then immediately to pressures for grandchildren. It’s like they are all of equal import. Love it.
July 22, 2008 at 4:58 pm
As interesting as my mother’s response to “I’m a lesbian.” —- “Oh thank God, we thought you were pregnant.”
July 22, 2008 at 7:50 pm
Why do all the mothers seem to have attention deficit disorder? It’s like all of their messages jump from topic to topic somewhat incoherently. Anyone notice this trend?

I think they are writing in a stream of consciousness style!
July 23, 2008 at 7:02 am
LOL! I don’t think it is ADD…we just feel like there are too many things left unsaid. Once your kids are gone, you can’t get enough advice in as fast as you want to.
July 23, 2008 at 8:40 am
Russ – do you not have a mother???
July 23, 2008 at 9:21 am
Nothing like a little note from mom letting you know it’s okay to be gay – as long as you don’t forget to breed.
July 23, 2008 at 11:42 am
See, now I’m dying to know – is she gay??
July 23, 2008 at 1:24 pm
I’m dying to know if SHE is a HE or a SHE. Both scenarios are intriguing. Either way mom’s reaction to the possibility of having a gay child is priceless-so hip and non-chalant.
July 24, 2008 at 4:15 pm
OK, this one made me laugh until i snorted.
July 26, 2008 at 2:35 am
Peepz plz learn how to spell mum not mom and dad not dod
September 11, 2008 at 11:11 pm
Not sure where Katie is from, but in the US, Mom is the correct spelling. Mum is used as well. Also, please, if you’re going to take the time to correct someone’s spelling, I beg of you, use proper grammar.
September 25, 2008 at 3:30 pm
Katie, PLEASE learn how to spell Please (not plz) and PEOPLE (not peepz) before correcting other people’s spelling. Really, I don’t care if you can’t spell, but then get off my case about it.
