| LOL whatever in the world is "hospric triamouse"????? We should have a contest to define, then you can ask her, and whoever guesses most accurately would win, say, a triamouse.
Actually, I think we should collectively turn the tables, and create a book of email and IMs from our children. Mine has sent to me some really wacky stuff over the years and it's almost as funny... |

| This is why I always claim copyright in all my e-mails to my daughters and threaten litigation if they pass them on or reproduce them! | |

| I have been laughing all afternoon at these emails. I have also seen myself many times. I wonder how many of these are powered by menopause (I should know!) hospnc tnamouse: a kind and hopitable brown mouse usually found in rocky outcropings from Central America. | |

| OK, LTS, I'll be the first to bite.
Below is an actual e-mail exchange between my two daughters and me. Please bear in mind that daughter 2 has never watched a football game in her entire life. And what's the deal with lol??? lol
Me: Awesome Super Bowl! One of the best I've ever seen....
.....and congrats, XXXXX, on passing calc!!! Dad said you had him going for a minute there on the phone. lol
Love you,
Mom
Daughter 1 response: mom you just said lol. HAHAHAHAHHAHA
Daughter 2 response: i'm going to have to go ahead and disagree on the "best you've ever seen" statement. it was actually probably one of the lowest scoring, most boring games i have ever seen...let alone a superbowl game...until the last two minutes WHEN THE GIANTS WONNNNNNNNNNNNNN AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
and mom, you DID just say lol! | |

| Hey, LTS, curious minds want to know.....
Did you happen to be sitting at your computer at the time your daughter sent that note so you could "hang out" for 15 minutes? LOL
As for "hospric triamouse", I think it's code of some sort. Hmmm.... | |

| Not only was I not sitting at my computer at the time, but it was also the middle of the night for me as I was not, ah, Korea or anywhere near that side of the world at the time. So - hanging out, nope, not happening lol. My child is a complete goof. I love her beyond words, but, she's a goof. | |

| Here's one from my S during freshman year. He is in ROTC.
"long story to tell you later, but I'm pretty sure I just lived the most
difficult day of my life.
and its only 5pm...of course my day started at 0430. We are going to
formation and then we will 'be given further instructions.'
None of us know how many pushups we did, but it was a lot.
Not to mention the time spent on our face or at six inches for flutter
kicks. I'm all beat up and exhausted and i passed out during one exercise,
but it was no big deal. I've never passed out before, so that was...uhhh
not cool. Luckily for me my buddies broke my fall so i wasn't hurt or
anything...oh ok, i g2g, see what else for the day... | |

| hospric triamouse is clearly an anagram. aibarr and family should be able to figure out which words it is an anagram for. What makes the most sense, given what is known of this mom?
Moose chair purist.
A prehistoric sumo.
Irish teacups room.
A prim suitor's echo.
Euphoric is a storm. (A storm is euphoric?)
His creator's opium.
Pious choirmaster.
Suits a heroic prom.
Moor haircut spies.
Imports our chaise.
A cushier impostor.
or, most likely
A richer, moist soup.

PS I just tried to type moist and it came out mpist!
PPS I'm trying to do that one-letter-off-thing, like HAL for IBM from 2001...it's just not working. I'm not making any sense am I?? | |

| This is perfect for Mother's Day. It reminds me of a great story told at the Admit Day for my son's college. The question from parents was "What advice do you have for us?" The dean (or someone in a similar capacity) stood up and said "Never Instant Message Your Child". He then told the story of a student who was presenting a final project on power point who had left his IM application open. Across the screen for everyone to see flashed the words, "Honey, do you still have the runs today?" Needless to say, he earned a nickname that followed him for the rest of his college life! | |

| Haven't checked out the website yet but can tell from the opening post that I'm guilty on all counts. You mean that's not normal behavior? | |

| I sent an email to my D once that her roommate posted on her Facebook page as a favorite quote. I took that as a compliment because I was TRYING to be amusing.
Some of these are very funny... | |
