Well, maybe they do.

not disputing the validity of her claim. it's just... y'know. the parents.

lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 23:52 (twenty-two years ago)

They wear those?

Maybe Ph4rrell Williams.

"It's funny how the old wheel of circles turns".

Whatever you say, mother.

My mum on my brother one time when he was being wilful: "It's like he's got a mind of his own!"
No irony intended

My mom calls me to talk about fonts for my sister's wedding invitation:

Mom: Oh, how about this one that's just pictures and symbols? Everyone could have fun decoding when the wedding was.
Me: They'd all say, "Look, I got a wedding invite from the Zodiac Killer."
Mom: *laughs for a long time, then repeats what I said to my dad*
...
Mom: I don't know who that is, though. DId he write in codes?

bringing up the zodiac killer to your (conservative?, mormon?) parents though--what did you expect?

Not outrageous laughter!

Actually I remember my mom lolling pretty hard about some "It's Raining Men" joke c/o Leno when the Lorena Bobbitt trial was going on. I told her this a while ago and she said, "I must have been sad that day."

Every time my mom sends me a card, she writes a little suggestion inside that the front of the card is nice enough to frame. The most recent one is just an orange card that says "Trick or Treat" on the front. "I thought this was cute decor just on its own – but also cuter in a frame, again – that would be way more than I would do – whew!"

my mother doesn't really say the darndest things she does them. She's legally blind and most recently put scrubbing bubbles in her hair instead of her hair spray.

My mom just told me not to talk to strangers or let anyone bother me when I'm at the airport/flying tomorrow night. I am nearly 35 years old. Aw.

At my mom's funeral an ex-roomie reported to me that she had once said (acc to me) that she bought an orange bowling ball so she could see the pins better.

I call my mom every Sat morning and today she said "I'm at the END of my hair this time, I just have to heat it up" and then there was an elaborate song and dance before we finally arrived at "i need to use the curling iron and i'll call you right back"

lol/<3 @ my mom and her elaborate antiquated hair routine
