You guys, I could totally keep you ROFL with stories about my mom, she was soooo funny, whether she meant to be or not. I miss her, and thanks for letting me share with you my stories, even though it was off topic to this thread.
Off topic is good sometimes ;)
And I love those type of stories!
I think your mom and my mom must have been clones. One time at a Catholic funeral, (mom was Presbyterian) she asked one of the many Fathers present at the reception following the service, well if he's a Father (pointing her finger) and he's a Father (pointing to a different one) what do you call him? (pointing to a third) The Father cracked me up with "We call him Dad."
Keep 'em coming, if you want! There's no better way to show your love for her, that she meant that much to you!
My Dad had one of those crazy co-workers/friends with a very lovely and charming wife. I don't know how she put up with his antics, but she did.
One day, they were in a department store and when she got to the counter she realized that she didn't have any money. So she turned to her hubby who was standing behind her and said, "I need money."
He looked at her and said, "Who are you?"
She said, "This isn't the time for that -- give me some money!"
He looked around her to the cashier and said, "Can you help me? I don't know this woman!"
At this point, she was obviously enraged, and so were the people behind them. He let it go on for awhile, then finally handed her some money to "get her off his back."
She didn't talk to him for awhile after that.
Oh I have one about my grandma. We were shopping at the grocery story one day- I was around 15. We walk through the produce section, and my grandma holds up one of those giant leeks. She says, full volume, 'This looks like somebody's d*ck!'. Yeah, I ran for the doors. Never looked at grandpa the same again.
