And Now for Something Completely Different

With this post I am diverging somewhat from the theme of this blog in order to talk about a wonderfully funny and (dare I say) touching website my daughter clued me into – Postcards from Yo Momma at http://www.postcardsfromyomomma.com/. This site has an amazing and hilarious set of snippets from real e-mail and IM conversations between mothers and daughters. While the subjects may vary, the tone of these conversations is absolutely, completely identical to what my daughter and I sound like. I am tempted to include here some examples, but there are SO many that ring true and make me laugh hysterically that it is impossible to pick. Suffice to say that if you are a mother with a daughter (or vice-versa) who has ever e-mailed or IM’d the other, be prepared to get so caught up reading these that you will have to force yourself to stop and get back to whatever it was you were supposed to be doing at the time. Enjoy!
