self-referential » Postcards From Yo Momma

Ready for “Love, Mom” Part Two

Backstory: I gave my mom the Postcards book for her birthday a few weeks ago. It’s really got her thinking.

OK,
Now that I’ve read the book about emails from yo momma, if I think about sending something cute-sy or have some thing hilariously funny to say (which I do have from time to time) I’m thinking someone (not you prolly) would think I’m just staying awake at night trying to think of cute-sy stuff so make I’ll make the second edition of the book “Mo funny stuff from Yo Momma” when really we could’ve been in the first edition if only the authors knew us. Just some randon thinking here.

The REAL Joy of Sex

Backstory: This is my mom’s response to comments on the email from her I’d sent in that was posted on here.

mom: Hello! Back in the late ’60’s and ’70’s when I was dating, “the pill” was the best form of birth control. And we didn’t know about AIDS yet, so condoms weren’t so widely promoted for “safe sex.”
mom: Besides — how many of THEM have read “The Joy of Sex.” PLUS the sequel, “More Joy of Sex.’
mom: YoMomma has. :-)
me: so what’s the joy of sex then? I’m assuming condoms aren’t part of that?
mom: Let’s just say that after reading the first book, you’d never be able to look at goldfish (the fish, not the cracker) or green grapes the same way

It’s Like I’m Famous!

Me: Mom you’re number two for the week on post cards from yo momma!

Mom: What’s that?

Me: It’s a website that has funny things mothers send their kids. Yours was a text message!

Mom: I SWEAR THIS WORLD! NOW PEOPLE CAN JUST READ MY TEXT MESSAGES AND POST THEM ON SOME WEBSITE!!! HOW DID THEY READ MY TEXTS?!? HOW DID YOU FIND IT? I’M CALLING OBAMA ABOUT THIS!

Me: …uh I submited the text message…

Mom: oh…I’m number two!? Which message was it? That’s exciting. I’ll have to tell your dad when he gets home! It’s like I’m famous!

Bad Mommy!

Bad Mommy! Bad Mommy!

Of course, I have lost your address yet again – PLEASE email it me today because I will look like an even worse mother if I don’t mail your birthday card (etc) tomorrow.

Feel free to post this to PCFYM…I deserve it

Maybe they are a cult

I read a couple of notes from the moms and feel like as a mother I have been underachieving. Very little humor in my notes but I am not admitting to being a bore. I’ll have to work a bit harder to entertain you so I can make the big time web pages. Talk about pressure!

I liked the one mom that signed her missive Momzilla. I am not that type of mom but can appreciate her. Loved the idea of the Red Hat Society being dumped. Talk about a cultural joke! I guess they don’t see it that way or else they wouldn’t do such wierd stuff and open themselves up for ridicule. Maybe they are a cult.

"I'm named after the song A Letter to Elise by The Cure, and my middlenames: Klara and Lisel were chosen because my mom had a dream about having a daughter named Klara, and she promised my great-grandmother that she would name me Lisel."
