It HAPPENED

[spitforspat]

After months of replying to everything H says with 'your mom is _____' he finally slipped.

I said something was ridiculous. He said 'your mom is ridiculous' and I got to scream 'MY MOM IS DEAAAAD!'

He just looked at me, stone-faced, and said 'are you happy?'

And yes, yes I am.

whaaaaaaaaaaa?

I have a feeling our faces look very similar while we're saying this.

LOL. Well played.

[rhiannon]

LOL!

[spitforspat]

Sorry, let me explain.

A while ago my mom passed away. Then, anytime H would use an adjective I would say 'your mom is adjective' in hopes that soon he would slip up, tell me MY mom was adjective, and I'd get to scream dramatically at him.

I'm proud of myself that I actually understood this from your first post.

And a little worried.

[saraandmichael]

lol.

my husband and i always made 'your mom' jokes and i quit after his mom died. he was all 'you can still say it' but i wouldn't.

and then a few months ago i slipped and we both had the best laugh.

on short, i get you.

[melindafelinda]

I don't have patience for jokes that require months of setup.

[spitforspat]

Yea, booby. My mom died, not my sense of humor. One of the things she loved about me was how I can joke about anything, so I'm not going to stop b/c I'm sad.

Sue, that is hilarious.

[emsumm]

Well, I think it's funny, and I admire your perseverance in the setup

[jane6672]

I got it.



And I applaud your dedication.

[RobotLegs]

I'm amused.

[spitforspat]

TR- omg!

We have a friend who's roommate only has one arm. One time we were over and there was a glove on the table? H was all 'why just one glove, OJ? That's weird!'

And then the roommate was all, 'yeah, I WONDER why there's only one glove...' while stroking his chin.

[Lauren88]

LOL, that's too funny! My brothers and I say that to each other all the time. We've slipped when my mom was around and she didn't think it was as funny as we did.

I throw my mother's death in dh's face all the time. "You don't HAVE a MIL; You don't KNOW. I"M the one who suffers, not you". etc. My mom would completely approve.

This is awesome. I love how you know your mom would approve, too. LOL

My mom is crazy, but she would approve of that as well.

[CloudBee]

You have me crying, Sue Sue.

I watched one of my HS friends start a "your mom" fight with her own mom. I can't remember what they were arguing about, but it was like Mom: "You're being a brat!" Friend: "You're mom's being a brat!" Mom: "No, you're mom's being a brat! *silence* Oh. Wait. Dammit."

[MWOS]

funny
/gavel

and I remember this from before, but probably just because I'm all up in Spitforspat's biznass

[housegeek]

Made me LOL

[nadasteph]

At work "that's what she said" was being way overplayed, so one of the guys changed it up to "that's what your mom said to me in the shower this morning" with hilarious results. One day, I said to my co-worker "did you get your haircut? looks good" to which he responded while nodding at his crotch "that's what your mother said to me this morning in the shower" right as our very conservative HR person walked by and wrote him up for inappropriate behavior. Which is even more hilarious, but since I am his direct supervisor, I talked her out of it.

[salimoo]

I think it's hilarious. I'm glad you got your moment!

I used to do this to my brother! And he would get SO mad! "She's your mom TOO!! UGH!!"

[papie]

THis is the funniest thread about parental death I have ever read

:Y:

[papie]

In greek there is an exception saying "Ths theias sou o kolos" which means "Your aunt's ass". So my mom would always say "Your aunt's!" to which I would reply "Which aunt?" and 99% of the time, it was "Anna's cuz it is the biggest", Anna being her sister who was sitting right there.

Maybe it is only funny in my family. But I wanted to throw out there the greek equivalent to "your mom" jokes.

[lovedan]

this is awesome.
