Gawd you’re too funny! You put a *disclaimer* on your posts before reading… “Warning: This entry can cause spontaneous guffaws of laughter… ” for those of us that work in cubicle mazes, and are supposed to actually be working, and not reading funny Ernie!

Haha, yes, I nearly fell of my chair when I read the first fragment of your post! Those moms are not from this world. Haha … I am glad to see yours is though!

tal camera and then i am going to upload them onto my computer, right

My mother claims to be too stupid.

She’s just impatient. Learning to “coach” in those circumstances is entirely too hard – but better than excessive facetime with her and the camera.

Ah, I have had that conversation many times except my mom hits me over the head with her Mac OS X: The Missing Manual and then writes down everything I say in a tiny notebook.

She follows up a week later by secretly calling my boyfriend and asking for his help since he’s nicer and more patient than I….

I get “do you have to keep growing that goatee?” instead of “exercise more”

the continuation to that universal conversation:
smart kids:”…yes mom…”
smart ass kids:”… yes mom; whatever mom…”

mom:”don’t you whatever me…”
and then the sequeal starts -_- jeez.

Wow, all chinese parents are the same! My mom had the habit of saying the last word of what she wants me to do, and after many arguments (i couldn’t stand it anymore) she has done it significantly less. My friend on the other hand has it worse than I do. Her mom, grandma, and grandpa will each eclaim a different last word before she steps out the door like “You’re fat!”
