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!!!!!

Teenage “Dark” Times

Backstory: I sent my mom an article about a woman who has trust issues in relationships because her mom read her journal when she was a teen (my mom is also a giant snoop, especially when I was going through my “dark” times).

Dear Daughter,
I never, ever read your journal or your letters, only your poems. They were great by the way. Even the woman at the suicide hot-line thought so.
Love Mom

Free the little birthday check!

On May 1st a check was born. Alas, like an unbaptized soul in Limbo, it has not reached check heaven. Check heaven is a place of great joy for birthday checks because there it can reach its full potential. No longer folded upon itself, ashamed to show its worth; it is free to pay bills, pay down debt, buy things you need or even to swell the balance of your checking or savings accounts. It could even be earning interest! Don’t let it suffer any longer. Free the little birthday check.

Applebee’s Just Doesn’t Measure Up.

Backstory: My mom LOVED Bennigans. We would go to Bennigans for any and all occasions. Since she heard that they went bankrupt and would be closing nationally, she has been completely devastated. It is all she can talk about, even on my 21st birthday!

Happy Happy Birthday to you on this special day

Happy Happy Birthday that’s all I have to say

Happy Happy Birthday may all your dreams come true

Happy Happy Birthday from Mommy to you

Benningans RIP 2008

Now We’re Even

Yeah, I think I accidentally speed-dialed you. I had my phone in my pocket and then heard this voice and it was a voice mail message. I then saw it was you I dialed so I just hung it up. Sorry about that! That pays us even for the time you dialed me with your phone in your purse while you were at a bar and I spent 5 minutes saying “Hello…hello” because I thought maybe you were being raped and had sneakily called me so I could call 911.

Please don’t hey me. And please don’t write telephono. As a language teacher (and as your mother), that offends and annoys me. And what is <3 ? Is that a woman with a dunce cap and large breasts?

TSA Troubles

Backstory: I am going on a trip to NYC tomorrow and I asked my mom to buy some tupelo honey for my friend who I am going to visit.  AJ is my Aunt Jamie and she’s a germophobe.

AJ packs her underwear in plastic bags so the inspectors don’t get their hands on it. Like her cooch is sterile or something.  What the heck.
