ISN - my mom and I are going grocery shopping together on Tuesday
I can't wait--it's always a riot. Last time we went, so did Sam--and she kept sneaking up on us and saying stupid things, like "Ladies, you can't eat out of the jars until you pay for the pickles" in her best authoritative grocer voice.

Yes, Alf,
aliwishes is my mom- she joined Blogit because I told her I had stuff written here. She is a writer herself and honors me by reading me here. She's hilarious in her own right, and she really is short.

Aliwishes....
everyone, in case you couldn't tell, this is my mom :) Can you tell where I get my writing style from?
I don't want the monkey table, Mom, nobody wants the monkey table... and for that matter you can keep the moose toilet paper holder, the plush lion's ass hanging next to the plush lion's head, the cat that looks like an Egyptian mummy, and the bonzai tree from hell. Hmph. I do want the picture of you in your Star Trek uniform, though; that's golden.

Has your mother ever killed anyone?
Dear Sanity left Behind,
Your mother sounds perfectly fine to me. A frozen goose can not help but raise questions to any normal adult...for instance, if the Thanksgiving turkey can remain in the refridge for 3 weeks and still be frozen solid, will a goose warm up quicker? Should a goose be forced to wear those little paper socks that look so good on a turkey? Should you serve goose pate with the goose or is that cannibalism? Besides, it's confusing when confronted by a goose in a freezer section.
It is understandable about the reindeer antlers too. Our dog wears them, everyone in the new Jack in the Box commercial wears them, even reindeer wear them. And I know why, it's because they always look good, are in good taste and can be worn with any hair style and not overpower the look.
Your mother must be a wonderful woman, I bet she forgives you for all your comments containing the words frumpy, grape ape and short. Other beloved children will inherit money from their mothers, you should plan on decorating around the collectors piece, plaster, brown, monkey table she will undoubtedly leave you!

I know you had a test woman! I sent you an email about that...geesh...you want me to wish you luck and enquire how you went everywhere I go? I DO have a life you know! And it's a very hard life too....looking after headless children is no picnic!
Seriously....I'm pleased all went well....that was quick! How far is it to Phoenix? I had pictured a weekend expedition.....you know...loading up the car with books and drinks and treats for the kids, and CD's to play for the longhaul?

I call my mom "nutty" and it has become her name. Love her dearly, but she embarasses me something awful :) Nice to see you, Taps :)

Sanity - I can picture this so vividly as my mom was just like that until
the day she died. Everyone was always staring at her or laughing. She loved the attention but I was always embarrassed.

Gosh you're good!! I am laughing out loud and look incredibly like the smiley to the left! It's about time you renewed your post....I've been here for hours just waiting for you.....and as usual it was well worth the wait! Your Mum sounds delightful! My Nanna was the one who used to have me crawling under the aisles!! She had a habit of holding my arm just under the elbow in a deceptive old lady pose, but which was actually her method of holding on to me and steering me in the direction she wanted to go.....which was usually to go up to some poor unsuspecting stranger to start a conversation into which she could conveniently insert proud snippets of information about "my grand-daughter here...." whilst I turned the colour of a tomato and vainly tried to struggle out of her grasp!
