Adam & I - waiting in line for the latest Harry Potter Movie - November, 2005Adam is quite a character... He's a born performer who spends way too much time watching the Comedy Channel. I love our rides to school everyday, as he picks one joke that he considers was the funniest joke from the previous night and shares it with me...This is where our "Joke of the day" started.....
I believe it was Amy who actually began the "your mom" jokes in this house, but she passed the torch onto Adam many months ago and he's been running with it ever since. Some examples:
Me: "Adam, it's time to empty the dishwasher."
Adam: "It's time for your mom to empty the dishwasher."
Me: "Adam, you're wanted on the phone!"
Adam: "Your mom is wanted on the phone!"
I'm sure you get the idea.......
Anyway, like I said, this has been going on since what feels like the beginning of time, and we live with it........Until last week. Vaughn (Adam's dad, my darling husband) aka the "grown-up" purchased a new camera, and after careful inspection, realized it was defective. So, we're in the living room, and he says, "This camera is broken." Adam replies, "Your mom is broken." I kinda giggle to myself and get up to go to the kitchen. This is how it went....
Vaughn: "That's enough."
Adam: "What?"
Vaughn: "The your mom jokes. Enough already. It's getting old."
What was I thinking - I decided I needed to put my input into this conversation. So, I replied, "Your mom is getting old." Adam and I burst into a fit of laughter, and Vaughn was silent.
I think I need to grow up.

HAHAHA!I would have laughed, too. Our poor husbands...
My hoochie girls alway fight to each other:
'Your mom '
'No your mom'
'No...your mom...'
'Umm...same mom, girls. And I can hear you.'
It never really gets old.
And if you grow up, I'll have to grow up. Don't, k.
hahah Karen, I think my mother was right many, many years ago when she said, "Hold on to your husband - there isn't another man on this earth who would put up with you." Do you think she meant that I'm a bad wife, or does this fall under the "bad mother" category? (That was quite a burn, mother of mine)
I will never let that die.
I need a drink ;o)
