Why do our mothers delight in embarassing us publicly?
Just this week, my mom stopped by the office. Within 2 minutes of entering, she was dishing on me to my boss and coworkers! The boss mentioned something about me cleaning the office, and she had a stroke over the mention of my name and the word 'clean' in the same sentence. Then she started in on how back in the day my bachelor-pad apartment was once declared a Superfund cleanup site. OY! I love ya, mom, but please, let's keep this civilized, okay? I got a few stories to tell, too.

2. I understand your concern but do you know how lucky your are to have
a mother that close and how much love she has for you?

Grin and bear it because someday she'll be gone and such memories will bring tears to your eyes.

:hi:

3. It's her job

Somebody's got to do it.

Try taking her to amateur night at the comedy club.

5. I can't believe you told her where you work.
There are rules about those things for a reason.

11. It's called payback time...for when we were teenagers and dared
to be seen out in public dressed like THAT!

12. Our teenage dress habits were revenge for the polyester jumpsuits
That Mom clothed us in during the '70s.
