Two young journalists strike blog gold with a site that collects unintentionally hilarious (and often touching) e-mails from mothers to their children.
Comment: I'll be buying a few copies of this when it comes out. These snippets made me laugh; I wouldn't mind having a whole book full of them. I think my sisters would get a kick out of this too.
Comment: OMG....the one about " who is this shorty i hear on the radio?" was great....I sat here at my computer & laughed hysterically for several minutes...all of the posts were touching, funny, and/or sweet! Good Job!
Comment: This made me smile...I'm the "take your i.d. in case of a crash" kind of Mom. How proud your mothers must be that you created this project which will bring smiles to moms and children everywhere. What a great Mothers Day gift you just gave me!

Comment: too funny. knowing my eclectic sense of humor, it would not surprise me to see one of my e-mails on here soon. i may have to start editing them now!
Comment: My 75 year old Mom just emaiued me the link to this blog and said I wouls get some good laughs. She's right!
I would like to add a comment:
Facebook is a great way to keep up with your kids. I have a Facebook page and my kids are always saying that I'm stalking them. Some might call it stalking, but I call it love. They have both "Friended" (with limited access) me and I send them Bumper Stickers" for their page. My 17 year old son has no problem adding them to his page, even when I send him a picture of a hand with a purple atex glove that says, "Protect Yourself. Wear a Rubber." or "I'm glad you recognized how terrible your life would be without me." My college Junior, not so much. She thinks it's weird that her Mother would have a Facebook. However, more and more of my friends have dived into the mysterious frontier of Facebook and are having a blast. So, my friends, I say, take the jump, get on Facebook and stalk your kids!!
Comment: My Mother passed away 6 years ago at 89. We still laugh at this in our family. She wrote on the backs of pictures in her home who they went to; but on the back of one oil painting she wrote in pencil these words:
"Lynda is the "menustrator" of the pictuees" If she says you get it , you get it. If she says you don't, you don't. Love Mama. Every once in a while my sister will call and ask to talk to the Menustrator.......(not the Administrator). We miss her a lot but we have wonderful memories and lots of laughts......
Lynda aka the Menustrator
Comment: My Mother passed away 6 yrs ago at 89. She had written on the backs of pictures in her home who they were to go to after she passed away. She had handwritten on the back of one oil painting these words in pencil : "Lynda is the menustrator of the pictures. If she says you get it you get it. If she says you don't you don't. Love Mama
My sister & I died laughing. She of course didn't spell it "Administrator". To this day my sister will call me and say, "I need to talk to the menustrator":. I miss her terribly today as I laugh at the things she did and said to make our life full.

Comment: My personal momism came to me at age 6 when I was bored and had no siblings, Mom would tell me to go outside and play with myself. My children, all adults now, rofl over that one. Mom's gone and it's great that they remember the humor she left behind.
Comment: I can email my son once a week, and I had just sent him a box of goodies. I told him to just keep the one item in the refrtgerator. He emailed me back, What refrigerator?? He is currently in Iraq serving our country. Dont know what I was thinking of, but he got a chuckle.
Comment: To beautiful30: If you have children you will get ridiculous. And it will happen long before you reach old age. Trust me.
Comment: Like this very much - I see a lot of stuff that could have been said between me and my 3 kids! Also happens between Gmoms and Gkids, Thanks!
Comment: How about moms are hilarious. Im a mom of a 2 year old, i hope i dont get ridiculous in my old age!! lol
Comment: OMG, these are hilarious! I was trying not to bust my sides open reading these... Moms are beautiful!! You can't help but love them for this kind of thing... "How did this happen... I didn't know I had IM!" and "Being gay is genetic, maybe your Dad's side..." LOLOLOLOL!!!!!
Comment: It's a lame and boring attempt at humor and/or social insight.
Comment: So then we can rest assured you were born w/out a mother LOL...get a life! the rest of us are enjoying the H-E double hockey sticks outta this..!! There are a few momisms in all of us...maybe you need to have kids to appreciate it
Comment: and you're an idiot...and your point was?? Just because you were apparently born w/out a mother (LOL) doesn't mean the rest of us are not enjoying the crap out of this...
Comment: you do not have mom . i takeing.
Comment: My mother thinks saying fu*k is terrible, but won't hesitate to discuss her sex life (or lack thereof) with my father. Not only via email, but in the middle of your local family restaurant. I'm certain this will lead to my traumatizing my children in the not too distant future - go figure.
Comment: It's amazing that they are so embarrassed about trying to be open minded! My mother thinks saying f*ck is bad but thinks telling me about her lack of a sex life with my dad won't creep me out - go figure.
Comment: Well, your dad has a small d!ck.
You stupid mother f*cker.
Comment: Rest assured folks - this poster has been delted.
Happy mum's day!!!
Comment: my dad recently learned text messaging -

Comment: Hilarious! They should create a site for stuff from dads as well. I get more hilarious material from my dad. Once, I was talking to him on the phone and mentioned that I was late for spinning class. He asked how long the class lasted. I told him 1 hour. He replied, "Don't you get dizzy?" He actually thought we just spun around in circles for an hour! Uh, no Dad, it's on a bike!

Comment: This is the funniest stuff I've read all month. Good idea to the writer and editor
Comment: This stuff is hilarious! It's funny to see how open-minded some parents are with their offspring and the sort of advice they give, from STDs to carrying ID on trips, although my mother and I would never feel comfortable discussing the former subject. Genius, creative idea from the creators of the site!
