It is all I can do not to respond to every Facebook update I see using the phrase "Your mom....."
For instance, a friend wrote "Lansing Ward potluck tomorrow. The theme is "Soups and Breads". Bring your favorite soup or bread. Hope you see you there!!"
I want to reply: " Your mom is a soup and bread." or "Your mom is a potluck".
Another update from a friend "off to Moab for the weekend with liz and a yurt." My (desired but not actually written) reply: "Your mom is as yurt."
Sometimes in real life I forget that there is no "Edit > Undo" function. Example: last Sunday when I was participating in an object lesson in RS. A few of us sisters were standing in a circle using our hands to hold pieces of yarn the RS Prez was winding around- you know, demonstrating how connected we were....Well, my ladyfriend standing next to me said "My piece of yarn is loose." My response? "Your mom is loose". What's particularly awesome about this example is that I found out about 30 minutes later that her mom was starting chemo the next day- so probably not the best time for a your mom joke- or maybe the best time for a your mom joke, it's hard to tell.

I'm laughing so hard right now, but Cody is asleep next to me so I'm actually just shaking silently and violently. Remember when my mom actually called?! I love that I am just about the only one who will get the title of this post. It makes me feel special... and before you can say it, you're right.... my mom does feel special. Good job on the foot-in-mouth moment. To make you feel better about this I'm going to tell you a story about my dear husband who was filling out the group temple recommend for a youth baptism trip. He turned to a newly married woman and, just to make sure, asked if she needed to add her name to it. She said no, and then HE said (in the chapel, mind you) "Yeah, you're a little too endowed..." this is particularly embarrassing because she truly is well-endowed and her husband was standing right there. So, I'll just end by saying, Your mom is well endowed!

Very funny. You're mom's funny. Let me tell the class how much I'm with you on the "Edit>Undo" bit...I often find myself wishing for a "control x" function in my life. That's my Revit/AutoCAD nerd version.

I saw that status. And now I want to put "your mom" after everything too.
You are the best.
