In honor of Mother’s Day, I have put together a collection of my mom’s and my conversations over the years. Of course, some won’t be as funny to people who don’t know us, personally, but I think they give you a picture of how awesome my mom is, and maybe how silly we are together. I am very fortunate to have a mother with a sense of humor! Without further ado, here are some typical mom-daughter phone conversations for us…
After I won a trip to Vegas to see George Strait in concert, I decided to take my mom with me as my plus one…. Keep in mind, she is not a country music fan (but everyone knows George Strait is amazing, country fan or not!).
Me: I’m excited for the Vegas and Orlando concerts! It’s going to be a lot of fun!
Mom: Am I going to Vegas as your chaperone? “Keep away from the chapel!”
_______________________________________
Me: You know Vegas is 2-3 hours behind us…. the concert starts at 7pm, it’ll be 9-10pm our time. Night night time for you.
Mom: Well it’s yucky anyways. I’m going to yell, “It’s Yucky! Turn it down!!”
Me: Oh, Mom…. <sigh>
Mom: I want to go to the Pawn Stars store while we’re there.
Me: You know, we’re going to need to make a schedule, so we have a plan. We won’t have a lot of time there.
Mom: You know, if we eliminate the concert, we’ll have a lot of extra time.
Me: MOM!! That’s the reason we have the trip in the first place!
Mom: Fine. We have to get our pictures taken like showgirls at one of those cardboard cut out things where you stick your head in the hole!!!

Me: I would have liked going to dinner with my friends, but I actually cooked tonight!
Mom: What, ramen noodles?
Me: No! …..spaghetti.

Mom: (long long story about a girl we don’t particularly favor) so, I think I’ll tell her to come stay with you!
Me: <groan> Thanks.

We have owned several Boston Terriers over the years, all with really interestingly unique personalities…
Mom: Wobet (the dog) is, like, surfing on me.

My mother works for a park and I sent myself a package near Christmas time with gifts in it to her so they would be there when I arrived…
Me: Did you get my email about the package coming?
Mom: Is the package you sent (to the park) for meeee??? A present for meeee?!?!
Me: Just ignore it. I put your name on it so they wouldn’t throw it away. Don’t even look at it.
Mom: Are you sending illicit drugs and paraphernalia to the park?
Me: Of course, so don’t look at the package coming. Thanks in advance.

My folks have been together for over 30 years…
Mom: All right, I’m getting off the phone. I’m going to go look at your dad now.
Second conversation, half an hour or so later…
Me: Are you done looking at Dad yet?
Mom: Yeah, he shifted and then got up. That was enough.

As aforementioned, my mom works for a place that has a river for tubing (with basic inner-tubes). In discussing Mother’s Day and what to do on Facebook, tubing on the river came up…
Me: We could spend time in the park… (mostly meant as a joke, since she is there everyday of her life.)
Mom: Yes! We can go tubing!! (she posted this picture.)
Mom won….
In response to a photo of the river my mom posted, shortly after the tubing comment…
Me: Is this the spot for your Mother’s Day? lol
Mom: No! The goats can’t be by the river! Lol
Me: Why not? Can’t dogs?
Mom: No…not by the water. We have other wildlife that goes there! Lol
Me: Chomp Chomps? (meaning alligators)
Mom: No…not chomp chomps or hiss hisses….much more mobile type of wildlife!
Me: yak yaks? (meaning people)
Mom: More like water buffalo, hippos and turkeys….
Me: From the river!?!?

At Christmas time, I received this text from my mom:
Mom: I tired! I wrap, wrap, wrap presents all afternoon! I’m going to have so many presents to open!! (meaning they are allll for her)

One of my mom’s recent Facebook posts:
Mom: Just going for a typical Saturday drive in the country! (with this photo posted of her ‘kids’)
That’s just some of the funny conversations we have shared over the last couple of years, and I look forward to many, many more laughs! I love my mom and I am very blessed to have such an awesome one!
Love you, Mom!
