What’s the 411?

Backstory: My sister and I were driving home from a Britney Spears concert and were IMing my mom to tell her about it.

Me: Tiff had a crazy dream about strawberry milk last night.
Mom: Why doesn’t that surprise me.
Me: It went on and on.    She will give you the 411 on it later
Mom: I can hardly wait.
Me: So then you know what 411 is?
Mom: information, details, etc.
Me: You’re so smart.
Mom: That’s why I’m the momma/knower of all things.

Cooling Out

Backstory: I told my mom once on the phone that I was “chilling” with my friends and she didn’t quite catch on to the term, but still felt obligated to keep using it.

Were you cooling with your friends today?  Have a good weekend, and make sure you have some snacks and juice when you go to one of those frat parties!

Am I Using the Term Correctly?

Didn’t you say your dad took a golden shower at that bar he was at in the city? I’ve been telling all of my friends but your dad says I am wrong and I probably shouldn’t repeat this story. Am I using the term correctly?

Smarter Than A Sixth Grader

Backstory: my mom tells us things that are not true and then we repeat them and look like idiots. This “weenus” fact was actually told to her by a sixth grader. She believes everyone and everything.
mom: Did you know that your elbow flab is called your “weenus”? How are the boys [our dogs]?
me:That can’t be true. Is that a medical term?
mom: Truth…bodhi [our dog] knows…or he will poop on your head…weenus.

Don’t Encourage Her

Backstory: Since mom has been on Facebook she finds all kinds of cool “new” phrases. The other day told me “that’s how I roll.” I probably shouldn’t encourage it, but I do anyway…
Me: Here you go mom- a new phrase you can use on your facebook friends to be cool! “the bomb.com!”
Mom: I found something else too! Denizzle is going to be my gangsta name! I’m excited!
Me: Oh my.
Mom: Unfortunately, your name wouldn’t make a good gangsta name, but David’s would – DAVIZZLE!
Me: Okay mom, that’s good.
Mom: I’m going to be working on this. I’ll let you know more later.

Gangsta and Creepy

Backstory: I sent my mom an interview that Katie Couric did of Lil’ Wayne for the Grammys.

Katie Couric shouldn’t have gone into the news. She’s way too perky. What the f’ is wrong with his face? He’s a gangsta and a rapper? He’s taking on the president?? I would be in fear of my life if I had to interview him! Please tell me they did not actually tattoo this child for his album cover. That is the saddest thing ever. And creepy.

Oh, and Dave, that you met yesterday is the like a more intelligent Gomer Pyle. He’s really nice.

Is it derogatory?

Mom: Calling someone “short man” is even worse than calling someone “shortie.”
Me: No, Mom.  “Short man” and “shortie” don’t mean the same thing.
Mom: They don’t?! Well then what does “shortie” mean?
Me: It’s the name for a girl.
Mom: I’ve never heard that before.  Is it derogatory?
Me: Oh my god Mom…  No.
Mom: Don’t huff and puff at me!

ship my shiznick

Backstory: we’re going on a family vacation to London and Paris and Virgin sent us the wrong tickets.

I just talked to the village idiots over at Virgin and reminded them that I ain’t no punk.  Anyways, they gave me a tracking number for our package.  Girrrrrrrl, our shiznick is in Charlotte, NC and it’s not expected to be received back at Virgin until October 7th.  [It was shipped out of myrtle beach, s.c. On Sep. 22th they sent it via ground]  So, I will stay on it and track it daily and the people at Virgin can expect to hear from me again on Oct. 7th bright and early and I will let them know that they better ship my shiznick out AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, if not sooner!!!!  I’m on it like white on rice.  This isn’t a joke!!!



Love, Mom
