Kat, I used to work for that division of Disney. Those things sell pretty well.
I have finesse! I have finesse coming out of my bottom!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
bon bon, was the email amusing enough for Postcards From Your Momma? Then the internet would swallow itself.
In one year she will be sending me the link to Postcards from Your Momma. It will read:
"Do I Talk like this? ha ha I am taking a day off from work this week. YOu should email me more often............"

Postcards From Your Momma
I don't know how I wasn't aware of this site before. It makes me feel SO much better about my weird mom.
Although I could probably send most of her e-mails to them -- they would definitely qualify.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I wish I had some classics from my mother. Although I don't know that they'd translate. However, every one closes with "xoxo MOM," which is charming, I think.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Huh, Kat. It looks like Mickey vomits shaved ice into your cone. Not as disturbing as a Hello Kitty vibrator, anyway.

I share because I care.

Oh my god, how did they get my mom to write all the emails on that site. (Except the zumanity one.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, my mother has the rhythm of many of those mothers too. Bless.
Just had a meeting where people talked too much. What's the deal with examples? I mean, once you've actually conveyed the information, move on! Don't wrap it up with a metaphor. Everybody gets it! Your analogy is not insightful or interesting, and we could have been out of there fifteen minutes earlier if any of you could recognise a point when you see it.

My mom's emails are very letterly. In fact, whenever I email her, I end up trying to clean mine up a bit so she won't think...I don't know what I don't want her to think. I mean, I usually write complete thoughts with fairly decent grammar and spelling. I do avoid acronyms with her, for sure. And then there are my brother's emails that read like a crazed monkey wrote them in chatspeak, so why should I worry?
Long day. Yay baby pictures! So big!
