Below are two recent email exchanges between my mother and myself. It is quite possible that these are funny only to me…and I am fine with that.

I have been talking to a lot of people about caters and such. I have heard that you can get a really good cake at whole foods for a good price. Since we aren’t doing a big deal cake, I thought a small one (for tradition’s sake) would be nice. What do you think?

How small for the cake?? I really liked the lady I talked with at the French Connection. Do I really have to do chocolate??? I’d rather get the round cake with the fruit topping. It’s so pretty. I think the price is reasonable. $60.00.

Mother,
The BRIDE, the person we are throwing the shower in honor of, would like chocolate. That is all that matters.
No fruit cakes or salads on fire or nuts in the cranberry sauce, ok?

Would you like me to bring the punch bowl with me this weekend? I could bring the large one that is from L’s mother and if you think it is too big I can bring a smaller one the day of the shower.
Let me know.

Mom, don’t take this the wrong way but when you write in these big fonts, you come off like you have a learning disability or something. I love you too much not to mention this.

Yes. But now you are whispering.
ROTFL!!
I find this hysterical - but maybe it’s because I know your mom!

As the older sister of 2 girls raised by a single mom and the matron of honor in my sister’s wedding last year, I can verify that I found this hilarious.

LMAO! You guys are too cute.
My sister wanted to serve sorbet for dessert at my baby shower (because she was on Weight Watchers)… My preggo self put her foot down. So then there was a phenomenal bakery cake.

Another vote for funny!
See, I couldn’t do that because when I email my mom, she replies in-line, inserting her responses to each of my sentences in my own text, except she changes the color and bolds. BOLDS EVERYTHING. But never shouts (or whispers).
Megs last blog post..Another reason why it’s called the “Forever Stamp”
Ha! Sasha and Evangeline speak to me in much the same way.
No worries. Funny.
Especially the part about the big fonts and the response.
Your mom sounds like a fun lady.
HA, HA, HA!
I loved the “The BRIDE” part.
I am totally going to be like your mother when I grow up.

Now, sweetie, why did I not find anything wrong with those emails?
I have to admit that our taking my suitcase up to Baltimore today WAS very funny - not either of us thinking that I had no way home tomorrow!! You should write about the 1 1/2 hour trip we took today for the 5 mile trek to the restaurant. that was pretty funny…..too….in retrospect.
Unga Chungas last blog post..1
It is really neat to see love transmitted on the airwaves.
Old Horsetail Snakes last blog post..Take Your Own Sweet Time
You’re lucky your mom can email. Mine called me the other day because she coudn’t find the attachment she wanted. Like I knew where it was on her computer…
InterstellarLasss last blog post..Nineteen
I thought it was hilarious! Hahahaha!
Kristabellas last blog post..Yes, I Am Cultured
Hilarious.
My mother’s emails are just painfully long and I always feel guilt ridden skimming them and then responding with a three word email. So i always add extra xo’s to lessen my guilt.
the mama bird diariess last blog post..damn boy, don’t go dissing my tv
Lawsy mercy, that’s funny
It was like I could hear her talking through those emails. Thanks for pushing, I mean guiding, her away from the fruit covered disaster.
