Mar 28, 2008 at 1:15 AM Off to bed, but before I go, I want to share two instant message conversations that I recently had with my mom.
The first...
Mom: By the way, what does btw stand for?(I don't know... I just thought it was funny.)
Me: By the way
And the second...
Mom: I'm so excited to go to Florida. I'm bringing my iPod with me!
Me: Good, make sure you charge it.
Mom: I have to charge it?
Ha ha ha... love her. I know I make fun of her computer skills on this blog, but I love her more than words can say.

Karyn,
Even though I am closer to your age, I would and have asked the exact same questions. :)
I love my mom, too. So much and since she moved away I miss her so much, too bad I can't convince her to learn the computer. Maybe you should write a book for of all these skills you are teahing your mom for the rest of us daughters.
LOL moms can be so funny. That could have been a conversation between my mom and me :)
haha, those are great. definitely something my mom would say too.
I cracked up when I read the first one. That is totally my mom.
Your mom should write a blog of her own... it'd be nice to get the 'other side' of the story.
My dad is completely clueless on messengers. When we talk it's like this...
Stephanie: Hey, what time's your flight?
Dad: My flight lands at 11:05. Love, Dad
Stephanie: OK... I'll see you at the airport. Should we grab lunch when you get in?
Dad: Lunch sounds great! Love, Dad
He signs his instant messages. It's like he doesn't get that it's getting back to me INSTANTANEOUSLY. We'll have to work on it.
ahh mums are funny creatures!
Oh my god--my mom story is not really ipod or im related but it's close:
My dad is a plumber and doesn't believe in garbage disposals, so my mom's house has never had one. My mom and sister came to visit me in January. One night my mom was cleaning up the kitchen and I was in the other room. She goes, "I stuffed the lettuce and veggies down the drain, what do I do now?" I told her to turn on the water and flip the disposal switch. She did, and the disposal made a wierd sound--I'd never heard it like that before. Alarmed, I run in while she turns it off and yells, "Nothing's happening! What do I do?"
I run in...and lo and behold my mom had stuffed the lettuce+veggies down the non-disposal drain. I collapsed laughing on the kitchen floor while she looked at me like I was insane while I explained that the disposal was in the OTHER side of the sink...the one with the words "DISPOSAL."
Gotta love the moms.
