Mom

Well. We have two options here. I could be deeply offended and stop being concerned when I contact you and 8 hours later you haven’t found 1 spare minute to get back to me. OR I could ignore your umbridge and continue to care enough about your welfare to risk your anger and pester you until I get some sort of response that would let me know that you haven’t fallen in your apartment where you are alone, hit your head, and are laying unconscious and no one knows because you are not expected anywhere. Sorry for your luck to have a parent that worries.

I hope your two broken arms and sprained fingers heal soon so that you may telephone us once again.

Sigh.

Love you!

Love you lots and lots

mom

You mad at me/ or just kinda of a poopie head? I wish you would call me, or write. I miss you like coffee misses cream, like a hot dog misses mustard, whenever you eat one, in that weird ketchup way.

If she forgets, I usually get busy and don’t email her. So, if she hasn’t heard from me all day, I get some sort of sarcastic where is my daughter email.
Mom: I had this kid, her name is L, I saw her yesterday, but today she seems to have vanished. Have you seen her by any chance?

Me: Hmm, the name is so familiar. It’s so lucky I heard from you, I’m  wondering, if you’ve seen my mom, her name is A. She’s been missing all day.

Mom: Hmmm… the lines of communications appear to be malfuncting.  I have seen that Mom named A.  I think I have… she is tall, willowy and skin like an angel, voice like a gentle summer rain.  Is that the one??????

Me: Oh, yes that is certainly the one of which I speak.

I haven’t received any texts or calls from her all week. I am not married nor do I have kids, I am 21 and live with my boyfriend and our new dog.

I have been texting you all week. And calling

I have really been worried about you.  I text that if I didn’t hear from you this morning I would be stopping by your house and if you weren’t there I was calling the police.

I haven’t heard from you since Saturday!

That’s just crazy – even if you don’t want to talk to me (like your sister said you said) you at least text me something.

I love you, I’m so happy you are alive and breathing, and so sorry you are so tired.  There is no rest for a working mother and wife.  I love you bigger than the milkyway exponentially squared.

Jane is my baby sister, she’s almost 4 and my younger brother is 17.

hi ladybug!

miss you like crazy and finding things to do around the house. jane and i have started painting—yeterday, i started an amazing portrait of a ballerina from the front of that San Francisco Ballet catalogue they always send us. i’m quite proud of the work so far, though jane’s talent leaves a little to be desired. i’m not a bitch! she’d be the first to admit it! just don’t tell her i told you that :) maybe she’ll improve once she gets as little older.

also, i cleaned out the front hall closet yesterday and found a blue and orange umbrella. is it yours? do you want me to send it to you? i thought i might also find your little brother in there, but alas, not yet. if he mentions anything to you, will you please let me know? i’m tired of waiting.

call me if you need anything or want that umbrella, i can ship it out with the cookies i just made.
love you to pieces,
momma

This is a test. If you do not respond by email by 8 p.m. tonight, I will assume you never received it. Last time I tried to send you an email it was returned with a message that I was not accepted as a legitimate correspondent or something to that effect. It was months ago that this happened. Bottom line…the attempt to communicate failed not because I used a wrong address but because I did not pass muster and was halted by some GATE KEEPER. Your legal Mother

I thought you might appreciate this dream I had last night …. I dreamt that my armpit hair was all the way down my sides and it was black. Isn’t that sick?? ewwww I don’t know why I dreamed that.

Ok … well I hope you had a good night. Did you happen to mention to M about P’s ring? Just wondering.

We can look for vacuums later this week. Will you go with me to Eastern Market Saturday morning to buy flowers? Remember I’m making cupcakes for you!!!!!

Well your never online anymore for me to talk to you and you never answer my texts.

Love,

Mom (De) but you can call me MOM
