a book of mom

i love my mom. she is hands down the most hilariously ridiculous person i know. and i, out of SEVEN siblings, was the only one who inherited her ridiculousness. (LIES! we ALL did. muaahahaha!)

to give you some background... my mom will hear a phrase or proverb and quote it back to you YEARS later COMPLETELY backwards. or she'd even call something so standard in the english language something WAY off. its one of the most precious things about my mom. we would laugh and laugh every time we'd hear her say one. and until just recently, my family and i have started collecting her "mom-isms" as they come across in conversation and someday, we're going to publish them. someday. =)

here are just a couple of the ones we've collected so far:

mom: "don't forget to pick up the greg foreman."

dad: "cindy? where is the heating pad?"
mom: "its under the bed on the passenger side."
me: "uhhh.... mom? which side do you sleep on?"
mom: (completely innocent and nonchalant) "the driver's side."
WE ALL DIED LAUGHING!

mom: "well that went over like a lead brick." [translation: that went over like a lead balloon.]

mom: "don't put all your chickens in one wagon." [translation: don't put all your eggs in one basket.]

mom: "you're just two corks in a bottle!" [translation: you're two peas in a pod.]

you're a RIOT mom! and we LOVE you for it. =D
