Mom, Debbie, and Dallas
Released this month, Postcards From Yo Momma compiles hilarious actual email and IM exchanges between mothers and their adult children. I’ve been laughing over following two, and more like them, for the last 20 minutes. Enjoy. If your mom has a good sense of humor – it might make a great Mother’s Day gift!
Mom: Movie time – yeah! We’re starting with “Debbie Does Dallas”. Sounds weird. Tonight is double feature; don’t know what’s next. lv u
(2 hours later)
Mom: Well, that was an eye opener if I say so myself. 2nd feature is Gidget Goes to Hawaii. lv u
Me: are u kidding or have you been replaced by pod people?
(2 hours after that)
Mom: Well, debbie and gidget live very different lives. From now on I’m leaving the movie choices to your dad.
******************
Mom: So when we come to Sydney can we stay at yours?
Mom: Hello?
Me: Oh. Sure. Well, actually there are a number of awesome hotels just a two minute walk from my house. I’ve just emailed you a bunch of links. Have a look! Am happy to book any of them for you. But, yeah, of course you are welcome to stay at mine, if you really want to.
Me: Mom?
Mom: You were welcome to stay in my uterus for nine months, and then my house for 17 years. But I understand, a week at your apartment might be a bit … much. 
Me: Don’t you passive-aggressive-smiley-face-ME, woman.
Mom: Fuck off. Love you – M.
One more, after the jump.
Surprise, I am writing you an email.
I NEED HELP AND SOON, BEFORE I STARVE TO DEATH !!!!
I am guessing that you are wondering how come I’m doing this — it’s just because I am locked into my computer room and cannot get out. I was trying to put a door knob on the door and got started, but the thing went completely closed as I was trying to see if it was going to fit — and now here I am having to stoop so low as to write an email to you to see if you could call someone to come get me out. My phones, of course, are all in the other room. I thought that perhaps you could call Beverly and have her and Howie come over and get me out. If you happen to have Tami’s number then call her.
Anyhow, can you get me out of here. I guess I’ll just play games on the computer until someone lets me out of here. Send me an email to let me know you are doing this for me.
