<p>I have to admit I was holding my breath when I read this because I thought I might find one of my embarrassing e-mails to my kids! Hilarious.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Those are funny! Maybe I’ll just send my 3 the entire link and tell (no, ask) them to click on one each day. Might as well. They all speak for me and my endless concerns.</p>
<p>LOL paying3! What a great idea!!!</p>
<p>Great idea, p3t! lol</p>
<p>They’re all funny, but I LOVE this one:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I browsed the website where they’re collecting these gems (Postcards From Yo Momma) with deepending dread as I realized that my Treo alone contains a wealth of incriminating SMS msgs, and with AIM logs and stored email, well… </p>
<p>I am now wondering whether it would be more satisfying to ask my kids if they’ve posted any of our conversations there, or if mentioning it would just be alerting them to the opportunity to do so, LOL!</p>
<p>“I am now wondering whether it would be more satisfying to ask my kids if they’ve posted any of our conversations there, or if mentioning it would just be alerting them to the opportunity to do so, LOL!”</p>
<p>I was thinking the exact same thing, mootmom!</p>
<p>That site is great. Thanks for posting it! I just sent the link to my mom.</p>
<p>Simply hilarious - I’m really, really glad I do not know this family:</p>
<p>In other news, your father asked me this morning if he could borrow my nasal irrigator. I got very excited, thinking he was being pro-active in fighting the cold that’s got him sniffling non-stop already. Turns out he just wanted to use the irrigator to inject jelly into the croissants he was baking. I could write a ****ing book.</p>
<p>I’ve got to buckle down now and read this new script.</p>
<p>XXOO
MA</p>
<p>latetoschool,</p>
<p>But… How do we know we don’t know them? </p>
<p>Croissants? </p>
<p>No, thanks, I’ll pass… :-)</p>
<p>did you read THIS from that website?
</p>
<p>So now we know what we are getting for mothers day next year</p>
<p>Apparently I’m not the weirdest mom on the planet, if these emails are for real. (Or at least I don’t send the most out there emails.) I decided not to send the link to the website to my D, however, because she is studying for exams, and she is distractible enough that she would probably drop everything to sift through all of our IM conversations and emails over the past years to see what she could contribute.</p>
<p>ROTFL, I simply assumed I could not possibly know anyone who would use a nasal irrigator for such a purpose, but, then again, people are full of surprises, aren’t they?</p>
<p>Nceph, when my daughter was a freshman, I sent her an email that included very rapidly typed details about how I rescued a giant turtle off the highway and set it free out of harms way, and that it walked away going “scrabble scrabble” - and then some other minuteau about it (how else to describe how a turtle walks away???), written in the manner that busy sdults send stuff off - I’m sure you know what I mean - anyway, imagine my surprise, D told me later than she forwarded it to nearly everyone she knew, and they all said her mom was hilarious - I was so surprised, I never expected that to happen, in any case I have been very careful with email/IM ever since…</p>
<p>Ok, well, maybe I should wait to see what my kids can contribute before I take myself out of the running for weirdest mom on the planet. So far, though, only emails from Grandma had been amusing enough to forward to all of my D’s friends. (or at least that’s all she’s told me about …)</p>
<p>mapesy, thank you for posting this! I’m enjoying reading these emails and realizing that I’m not the only mom who sends crazy/annoying emails to her kids. :)</p>
<p>Each year I send out a Happy Mother’s Day email to all my friends who are moms. Most of us know each other because we ARE moms so I like to celebrate those friendships around Mother’s Day. I will be including a link to this site in my email this year so that they can all share in the smiles!</p>
<p>Oh no.</p>
<p>My mom is famous for her e-mails. She’ll continue to hunt-and-peck even if her keyboard is on the fritz or if her eyes are acting up and she can’t see the screen, and then she’ll actually <em>send</em> these confusing, lengthy e-mails to us.</p>
<p>WE’LL AT TIMES END UP WITH AN E-MAIL THAT STARTS OUT IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS AND THEN TWO LINES INTO IT, MOM WILL SAY oh sorry i didn’t notice that caps lock was on!!!</p>
<p>One of her e-mails actually included the phrase “hospric triamouse”. The spelling of words had degraded so much by the time that “hospric triamouse” actually hit that we have <em>no</em> idea what she was talking about.</p>
<p>I’m going to have to start submitting things to that website. Judging by the few that I clicked through, my mom’s would definitely make it up…</p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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…</p>
<p>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!</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>OK, LTS, I’ll be the first to bite. </p>
<p>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</p>
<p>Me: Awesome Super Bowl! One of the best I’ve ever seen…</p>
<p>…and congrats, XXXXX, on passing calc!!! Dad said you had him going for a minute there on the phone. lol</p>
<p>Love you,
Mom</p>
<p>Daughter 1 response: mom you just said lol. HAHAHAHAHHAHA</p>
<p>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</p>
<p>and mom, you DID just say lol!</p>
<p>From an airport in Korea…either too much coffee or too much travel stress…this is an invitation to “hang out”??? LOL.</p>
