Don’t Just Listen to Dear Abby

Backstory: When my mom dropped me off for my first day at college, she gave me a Dear Abby column about leaving home that she was keeping in her purse. I was slightly underwhelmed.

Mom: I’m sorry about that Dear Abby column. I did think of some better advice: Never have sex in the same room as a pit bull.
Me: ?
Mom: There’s something about it that sets them off. Every time I hear about someone being mauled by a pit bull it involves a prostitute.
Me: Uhhh…thanks?
Mom: Well, I have already told you about all the other ways you could die. If I knew about this and didn’t tell you, I’d feel awful if it really happened.
Me: [silence]
Mom: Also, don’t fall in with a nest of lesbians. Love you!!!!!

      A ‘nest of lesbians’? Like vampires?

      Does nest apply to 3 or more?

      Aww, that’s so sweet – keeping and handing on the Dear Abby column. Cute mum. The rest… not so cute!

      Reminds me of how crazy my mom can be. Pit bulls mauling prostitutes? Nests of lesbians? Can’t help but love a mom like that :-)

      I thought lesbians traveled in gaggles, or was it herds?
