My mom and I have this little tradition where she calls me and reads the funny excerpts from the local police blotter.
Yesterday she called me, "I have a funny for you. You'll love it--you're the only person I know who will really appreciate it."
I keep on stirring dinner and wait for the big reveal...
"Man called police to report that he couldn't get the handcuffs off of his wife and could he please borrow a key."
But wait! It gets better. Sigh.
She continued with, "I can laugh at that because it almost happened to me!"
I have an
I choked on my own spit and almost knocked dinner off the stove.
It's safe to say that I no longer look forward to our little police blotter chats.
Teehee. Oopsie. So so funny! (and a little mortifying... But mostly funny)
ReplyDeleteHisLilAngel,
DeleteYes, it was a mix of both. And where else was I going to share it lol.
That's pretty funny actually...if absolutely horrifying as well, lol
ReplyDeletecuddlykitten,
Deletelol. Terrible combination that.
I have to say that I have always been confused by this. You are a blogger who talks about her D/s and BDSM lifestyle in public online. Yes, you use a pseudonym and you have some privacy controls.. But just about anyone can see your words.
ReplyDeleteFurther, you go out and read the words of others to do with the same or similar lifestyles. So, I don't understand why it is so weird or off-putting to hear these words from your mother.
Perhaps you can enlighten me? ^^;;
morwenedhelwen,
DeleteWell the post was meant in a humorous light...
If I knew my mom had a blog like this, I wouldn't read it.
I know what she's like, she knows what I'm like. I don't see any particular gain or interest in sharing the personal details of one's family's sex life.
If your mother had a blog like this, would you choose to read it?
Hello again lil,
DeleteI didn't mean to detract, I'm sorry.
But to answer your question: If my mother had a blog like this, I don't think that I would choose to read it, but I don't think that I would choose not to read it either. I think that it would be like everything else: if I like the writing and the points made are poignant, I would follow along (like here!). Otherwise, I would just move on.
Thank you morwen.
Deleteoh i suddenly imagined what it would be like if I heard that from MY mumsie. EEps.
ReplyDeleteFondles,
Deleteyou see where I'm coming from here! Lol.
Yikes! My mom has told me some things that I wish she'd kept to herself, especially when she's talked about her and my dad. I know they had sex because otherwise I wouldn't be here, but I really don't want any details.
ReplyDeleteDana,
DeleteI'm all about sharing...But I don't see any attraction in knowing the details of my parents sex life.
LOL, good thing you weren't sipping coffee whe she shared that tidbit, heeheehee :)
ReplyDeletefaerie,
Deletelol. It is a good thing--I would have had to restart dinner.
It's those unexpected visuals that kill us...
ReplyDelete;-D
Jz,
DeleteExactly! If one doesn't have a brain that does the visual thing, it's not so bad...
I think that fits under the category TMI.
ReplyDeletesunnygirl,
DeleteI couldn't agree more. SO naturally, I had to share with all of you lol.
ooh yes definitley a case of tmi mum lol
ReplyDeletetori,
Deletetmi is a concept I really should introduce her to one of these days...
Oh, but that's interesting. Does it run in the family, I wonder? What would your great grandma tell you...?
ReplyDeleteGiles,
DeleteOh well...I wouldn't want to ask lol.
Though my husband seems to think the answer is yes.
Ha! Oh how brilliantly funny!!
ReplyDeleteBleuame,
DeleteI did think it was wonderful blog fodder...
Oh, too funny!
ReplyDeleteMy mum had a couple of gay friends and one night she started telling me the things they did in an almost curious and astonished kind of way. She was very polite about it, but oh man...
Justine,
Deletelol. Sometimes polite just doesn't make up for it.
Hi Lil,
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid you'll have to tell your mother about the wonderful possibilities of Blogging.
Bas,
DeleteOh how could you? Lol.
Happily for me, she is about as computer literate as my great great grandmother. I don't think she even knows what a blog is...And I'm fine with keeping it that way lol.
What a funny story! Thanks for sharing. Some things you just don't want to know about your mom.
ReplyDeleteSerenity,
Deletethat's pretty much my entire train of thought in a nutshell! Lol.
Oh my goodness, I literally was rolling off the bed laughing when I read this!!!
ReplyDeleteSirQsmlb,
Deletelol, glad you got a laugh out of it.
To think I only read 50 shades of Grey because my mum had read all three books and made me feel like I was some kind of prude because I hadn't.........
ReplyDeleteLmao Joolz!
DeleteI haven't heard about 50 Shades from my mom yet...Chances are, it didn't make her literary cut because she's a stickler when it comes to the skills of the written word.
