Mom: Punkin, I’m going through the house now deciding who will get what when I die. Would you like me to send you all the mounted antlers and stuffed pheasants your dad had around here?
Me: Um……no
Mom: Why not? He was proud of those kills.
Me: Mom, I’m a vegetarian.
Mom: Oh yeah, I keep forgetting you’re one of “those people”.
Me: What do you mean “those people”?
Mom: You know, California hippie tree huggers. How’s that Obama working out for you, huh?
Would You Like the Mounted Antlers When I Die?

Man, is it hard to not say what I am thinking right now.

This is the first post I’ve read here where I wanted to strangle the Mom in question. What a joy she must be to be around.

I honestly don’t know what to say about this one. Certainly not the funny, light-hearted stuff I’ve come to expect on here…

I feel bad for the poster. Calling your kid “one of ‘those people’” in anything but a friendly, teasing way (it can be done, but I doubt this mom meant it as such or has that kind of relationship with her kids) is just not right.

I think it’s hilarious that people read Horrible Mom! into this. Sounds like something my mom would say. If I was American. And a vegetarian.
So as such I read it in an entirely different tone.

Way to go Mom!!! Love this lady.

Surprise people. There are quite a few Moms out there like this. We learn to love them dispite their imposing bull headed strong beliefs.
Why is it that parents want to “pass down” items that are important to “them”, not to us? ha-ha

Sorry, I thought this was the funniest post in a long time! Gotta take the chat with a grain of sarcasm and a little funny thrown in.
July 11, 2010 at 3:20 pm
Haha, I definitely read the mom’s last comment as firmly tongue-in-cheek.

I found this one to be obnoxious mostly because this is exactly like something my dad would say to me. And of course he’s just teasing, but it’s not something that amuses me.

I know a ton of people of all beliefs who would not want a bunch of mounted antlers and stuffed pheasants!

I am with you Lucy and jojo. I found this funny, and my first thought is mom has a sense of humor that the child probably very well understands. I didn’t read it like some, being mean etc. I guess maybe it depends on your own frame of mind when you read these posts on here on how you take what is said. This one to me was funny. So, how is that hopey changey thing working out for you?

With you Jeff (and the others who have a sense of humor). I laughed aloud as this is exactly what both of my parents, hunters living in Texas, would say to me, living in California.
Mom sounds like a reas wise-ass, and it sounds like child can hold their own!
Hilarious!

Got that kids? If you don’t find THIS entry funny, you have no sense of humor. Nope. None at all. And if you do find it funny, it’s because you’re a special special snowflake who is just soo cool. LOL. That shit if funnier than the post.
July 12, 2010 at 1:00 pm
I’m a vegetarian (cohabbing w/ a hunter) and I especially saw the humor in this. If the poster had found it offensive I’m not sure she would have posted it for the world to see.

I voted for Obama and I though her comment was hilarious
July 13, 2010 at 11:27 pm
I see how it Could be funny but the truth is its not because animals killed for sport isn’t funny at all. California is also the best state at recycling and saving the planet so that moms like this can live their tree-burning instead of “tree hugging” lives.

That’s awesome! Props to both of them, that’s a hilarious exchange. And I kinda want to high-five the mom.

Ammali…I so agree with you…this was a very funny post regardless if you’re an obama fan, vegatarian or what…just a fun exchange between kid and mom.
