I'm torn about saying anything disparaging or making fun of anyone's mom I'm still trying to think of at least one story I can share...That's the hard parts, I could come up with many a tale but none of them funnyI believe you! I was raised in the south, where there would be physical repercussions if I were to say such a thing out loud
8-o
When I was a kid, everybody played outside. We would swim and hike and play baseball and ride bikes. I aquired a very good tan one year.
I loved playing little league baseball. We had one black kid on our team, Freddy. Our team was one of the best in the league, and everybody's parents came to nearly every game.
My mother was always cheering our team on... often loudly. One time I made a great defensive play, and my mom stood up and yelled at the top of her lungs, "WAY TO GO, FREDDY!!!"
I guess my tan was darker than I thought.

The story doesn't have to be funny, in fact it's probably a better bet to go with something touching.. Jamie is the Judge not me
and it can be about any mom not just the stick in the muds

Well, whatever she did, she sure made you a fun and funny lady, Monkey Mama!!! I believe you! I was raised in the south, where there would be physical repercussions if I were to say such a thing out loud
(not an entry)
Like many other moms, this is my motto in child rearing:
Just share any story and remind yourself:

Oh Eric , you're the Best ! (
hmmmm, now I gotta be thinkin so I can bring an emotionals tear to Jamie's eye....and moola to Sparkys Stocks fer all da Kleemex Jamie's gonna need with this comtest )When we were teenagers we used to steal my friend's mother's vodka and then add water so she didn't realize that any was missing. So she would probably have twice as many drinks as she should have with the diluted vodka in here house. One day we came back to my friends house and the parents were having a party and his Mom was getting a little tipsy and we realized that they had bought a fresh bottle of vodka so she was drinking it at full strength. We pulled his Dad aside to give him a little heads up to what we've been doing so she wouldn't pass out. She found out later and was cool with it since she thought it was weird how many drinks she used to be able to have of the watered down stuff.
For Ms. "Anita" (I Hear Ya' not too many good memories for "Me" either) . . .
SO - If this post should win I would appreciate if I could PIF the prize to her . . .
NOW - I really hope you find this as Funny as I remember it to be, especially since it was one of the few occasions . . .
One day - While helping "My" Mother to move to a new apartment, one of My older brothers and I were having a hard time negotiating a HUGE HEAVY Dresser through a small doorway and up & over the banister of a stairway to get it downstairs . . . Of course, both of "Us" knew which was the better way to get it through the door without damaging anything . . . Well an argument ensued where neither one of us was willing to concede who's idea was better to get the job done . . . As our voices got louder and certain words were exchanged - ALL OF A SUDDEN "My" Mother called Us By our formal first names (which of course you know is not a good thing) and said . . . "BOYS - I want You To put the dresser down and look at "Me" - NOW see what you both have made me do" . . . Well we did as she said and turn to look at her - there she stood down the hallway with the Biggest Grin on her face smiling from ear to ear with - NO TEETH - in her mouth - mumbling don't you love your mother's new look . . . Not Only Were We Absolutly SHOOCKED (since neither of "Us" knew she had false teeth) - We both started laughing so hard "We" forget what we were arguing about . . . As she kept asking us what were we laughing about . . . So once we were actually able to compose ourselves "We" got the dresser out the door and downstairs together without another ill spoken word to each other for the rest of the day, especially since she threaten to take her teeth out and smile for "US" again . . .
BTW: Very Funny to "Me" when it happen - just not a pretty site . . . Just Sayin' . . .

Ok, mine isn't a story. It isn't funny, although she had a wonderful sense of humor and it's one of the things I miss most about her. I know it's long so if you skip it, that's ok. I wrote this for my Mother's Memorial in 2008.
In her eyes, so warm and bright, we find tenderness and acceptance.
In her voice, so beautiful, like music to our hearts, we find peace and comfort for our souls.
In her touch, there is wamth and great affection. What is stronger than a Mother's love?
In her arms, so protected by her tender embrace, wrap us up hold us close keep us sheltered and safe.
In her heart, such compassion, such empathy. There is no sacrifice to great for those dear to her, no act of kindness too small for stranger or friend.
In her laughter, so infectious, eyes sparkling with glee, there is respite and escape from reality. What wonderful wit what joy that it brings what a gift just to see her smiling, happy.
In her face, we see beauty, strength and grace. We see youth everlasting, we see Mommy, we see our best friend.
In her pain in, her struggle, in her fight for life, we feel helpless we feel heartbroken we feel too numb to cry.
In her passing we have loss too great to convey. Where's our Momma who will hold us who will wipe our tears away?
In her Soul she has Jesus she is a child of God, now she is with her heavenly father safe and warm and loved. We will miss her dearly we will mourn our loss but we know when we pass from this world we will meet her in heaven above, she will be waiting to greet us with a smile a kiss and a hug.
For Peggy Lorraine - You are loved and missed

Oh my Uncle, that is so funny. Sounds like your Mother has/had a great sense of humor.
THANKS - At times, She really did - Matter of fact, she really was a GREAT Woman that was way ahead of her time too . . .
(AND - I need to leave it at that . . .Not a whole bunch of good memories, but there were a few and I did "Love" Her anyway - as I did "My" Father too . . . ) Oh Uncle !! Love that !It reminds me of the nursing home I got my very first working job as a teenager. I was in the housekeeping dept and was cleaning this ladys private room. She heard the toilet flush , as I was cleaning it, and came a running towards me with her walker just a yelling as loud as she could. She accused me of stealing her teeth and flushing them down the toilet. Of course I told her I hadn't seen her teeth. She raised all kinds of commotion in that place screaming into everyones rooms to protect their teeth cuz that cleaning girl steals them and flushes them down the toilet ! All the rest of the residents avoided me and ran the other way when they saw me. That put all the staff on the hunt for the old ladys dentures to shut her up. No one could find them anywhere. Towards the end of my shift one of the nurses aides went to give the old lady a shower and found her dentures in the old ladys bra. Then she blamed me for putting them there cuz for sure she knew she didn't put them there !!
After all this time when some one jokes about dentures I've thought of that woman
No Reallys, it's true Stoney. Not very many people liked her including me
Maybes I'll borrows Somics Mom, she cooks good
