Mom: hahahaha you must be kidding….. no effing way.

Good for you mom.

HA!
November 4, 2009 at 4:44 pm
This is the BEST ever!!!!! Momma rocks!!
November 4, 2009 at 5:40 pm
Go mom – what we all think, but generally rephrase.

How mean
November 5, 2009 at 6:05 am
Little Lemon, let me guess. You are still living at home with your parents, you are probably an adult and just couldn’t imagine what you would do if your parents kicked you out. Or, you have been on the receiving end of just such an answer to the question, Can I move back home?
November 5, 2009 at 12:42 pm
Love it!! Having grown up in Naples, I see the appeal of living there… and if I were in Mom’s shoes, I would also say no way!!
November 5, 2009 at 1:49 pm
JRG, that seems a bit harsh. I too thought this email was a little mean (and though I haven’t lived with my folks since I was 18, I know they’d welcome me back if I ever needed to stay there temporarily, such as for grad school). Course maybe the daughter was joking when she asked, knowing what Mom’s reaction would be. You never can tell! I don’t think Mom’s mean for saying no, just that it could have been worded a little nicer (if this conversation is indeed serious).
November 5, 2009 at 2:34 pm
@Hil- I completely agree with everything you wrote.!
ha ha I think this is the 2nd time this week I have said I agree with you! :)
November 5, 2009 at 7:55 pm
JRG I’m old enough to be this Mom’s mother and left home some 45 years ago. Don’t try to guess what tricks your Granny needs to learn girl.

OK Lighten up folks! This is my new vacation condo and my daughter was just setting me up. Funny though her Dad’s response was” Sure Sweety, what school are you going to” So I did look bad. but my answer still stands. Come home anytime, lovely daughter, but don’t touch my vacation home !!! mother
