Bit-O-Honey

My mom is eating a piece of candy called "Bit-O-Honey" when my sister Kelly says "Ewww Mom, those are gross!" Mom's response..."Well, you're gross!" Best Response Ever Mom.

earlier that day I was driving down a busy road...

Mom: Katie, slow down! I don't understand why you are accelerating when ahead all of the cars are stopping. Seriously, How do you drive everyday without me?!
Me: Um, peacefully?

birth control

Sometimes moms can say wildly inappropriate things that are completely embarrassing and still have no idea what they've done.

My husband was at a drug store the other day and overheard a woman telling the pharmacist that she needed to refill her daughters birth control prescription because her daughter was quote "going back to college this week"...

The Village

We're driving around in Richmond apartment hunting for my sister, when we pass the Village Cafe. And my mom says "That place looks good, Have yall ever ate there before?"

We have taken my mom to this place at least one, maybe two, times. She can be a little forgetful.

wedding day

"chelsea clinton is getting married today.... she really lucked out, what a nice day for her!" - my mom

This is a picture of my friend Christine drowning, which we texted to her mom with a phone number she wouldn't recognize.

Her mom's response:
"I thought it was supposed to be in the river."



Another great story submitted by my friend Katie (different Katie):

Mom and I went to the doctor about a skin discoloration on my neck. The doctor told us it was a mole and to be careful in the sun and come back in a year for it to be measured. The whole way home, mom kept saying "I can't believe it. That's so odd. I just can't believe it."
Finally, I say, "What is so hard to understand??"
And she said "How did you get mold on your neck???"
"Mom... she said MOLE not MOLD!"

television.

in response to anything on tv:

"oh, guys, come on.... what is this?"

<3 you mom.

having been born & raised in Canada, living in Europe for summers in high school and colleges, and moving to the UK for a year my mom says things funny. For instance, Z's are spoken as "zed".  here's a good commentary on "pop music" from the other day, while driving in the car.

 Peter (my brother): "Can we listen to something good?"
Mom: "Change it then."
--Peter changes the channel to hip-hop--
Mom: "Oh, turn this!! ...What is this?"
Me (sarcastically from the backseat): "Mom, it's your favorite, Jay-Z!"
Mom: "Yeah, Jay- ZED, my favorite!"

On a side note, my dad refers to all pop as "bubble gum music".
