I am sick and tired of writing about my 14-year-old with boyfriend, and I am thinking all of you are too.
And so, I am going to blog about things my mother doesn’t understand (even though she is 70).
1. Any off-color innuendo. She doesn’t get it. And beware that she may ask for clarification very loudly.
2. How to set the clock on her VCR.
3. Anything to do with her computer. She can’t even explain to me what it is she is trying to do. Have you ever tried to help someone by phone when the person requesting the help says things like “I can’t do that thing I did the other day. How do I do that again?
4. That when she calls me at home, and I answer, she really should know the answer to her question, “Where are you at?”
5. How to answer her cell phone.
6. That when she calls me using her cell phone, even though she isn’t calling from her home, odds are very good that I am home when she calls me at my home and I answer. Again, this should be a no-brainer.
7. Why I laugh when she tells me her doctor tells her, “He says I am in good shape for the shape I’m in.” I bet. What shape is that? Triangle?
8. That when she asks me “what’s that girl’s name you went to school with?” She really shouldn’t expect an answer. Her “Not Nikki, but the other one,” doesn’t help much either.
And what I don’t understand…
That despite the fact that I went to school with hundreds of girls, I knew exactly who she was talking about.
Wow, our moms could be twins. Especially with #8. That’s hilarious.
linda sorry that i dont get it every time but im your mother and i can ask you any thing and you should know the answer with out me giving all the details. after all im 70. and that gives me that right. deb we all get that way just wait till you and linda get our age. love mom . i still love you.
linda notice that I changed autumns name to my own by my self. im not as old as you think. i can still do things on my own.hahahahaha. love mom
Mrs. Denton, YOU ROCK just like my mom!!!
Linda and I are very blessed! 
Love,
Debbie (Jones) Simon
Tammy or Autumn? would it not be even weirder if I knew what her name was? We love you Grandma! Can you believe my middle child is eight years old today?
This made me snort. Painful but worth it.
I agree with Deb, our moms rock.
Jessica, you didn’t get it right. Mom remembers certain names including Nikki, Deb, Autumn and Tammy. She was talking about Becky; I’m not sure if you would remember her. Wow! 8? I can’t believe it.
Mom, cool beans! I’m glad you figured out how to change your name back. I love you.
Pam, I hope you didn’t damage anything midsnort! Thanks for the comment.
