You’re the Best Adult Vomiter I Know

Kiddie barf, though, is what got me over my fear of seeing people vomiting. Kids are so easy to deal with and they make very little noise, too. You’re the best adult vomiter I know, even now. I guess it was the noise that made me vomit-phobic to begin with. From the time you projectile vomited across your crib and onto the wall until the time you had your gall bladder out, you were, and are, a gentle, soft-spoken retcher.

Patience Is a Virtue

Backstory: I got impatient while trying to give my mom computer support.

I learned all by myself. Yea me.  It’s a good thing I had more patience that you do, you might still not be potty-trained.

iPhone Supremacy

Backstory: Not a day goes by that my 61 year old mother does not remind me how much more superior her iphone is to my Blackberry Torch.

Mom: Btw did u change ur clocks?
Me: Yes!  What time is it anyway? Not sure if my phone updated automatically or not.
Mom: My iphone says 9:45 am
Me: Why do you need to say “iphone” huh?  Why not just “phone” you show off!
Mom: Cause I don’t want u to think that your shitty phone will be capable of giving you the right time.  Heeee Heee Heee snort!

Dude!! It’s Your Daughter’s Wedding.

Backstory: Ever since I was about 14, I called my Dad “Dod,” because it amused me. It stuck. Anyway, my dad lost a lot of weight recently and he needs a new suit for my wedding.

I told Dod the other night that we need to get him a new suit. He looked at me the way the cat used to when I said, “Um, go do…this.” He was all, “I have a suit.” And I was all, “Yeah, from when you were 45 lbs. heavier.” And he was all, “Don’t I have something from before I got fat??” And I was all, “????????????????????????? Dude!! It’s your daughter’s wedding. You need a new fucking suit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Mom Condones Violence

Backstory: I had told my mother about a boy I’d been on a few dates with. A little while later, I found out he actually has a long distance girlfriend (with whom things are “uncertain,” of course), and that I will be meeting her this weekend at an event we’re both going to.


Me: i’m actually semi-excited to see what this girl is like
Mom: so lame
Mom: i’m excited for you to kick that girl’s pansy little ass

Precious or Semi-Precious?

Backstory: My mom LOVES trashy reality TV and sent this to me right after Kathy Griffin got “vajazzled” on her show.  I think she was only partly joking…

Mom: Ever considered vajazzling?
Me: Mom!
Mom: Or maybe keep it simple and get vattooed…
Me: Oh sure, that’s part of my regular grooming routine.
Mom: Precious or semi-precious?
