a message from my ma [seriously]

Ma: "this blog has become too political, too intellectual and much too boring for the over 40 crowd"
Hindi: "what, dear mother do you propose i write about?"
Ma: "i don't know, something exciting happening in life, like the naming of our new washing machines..."
Hindi: "you want me to write about Bella and Stella? Ma, washing machines are totally boring..."
Ma: "or may be about all the activities going on this house..."
Hindi: eyebrows raised
Ma: "oy just erase that... i don't know... i really don't know... but if you want to keep your crowd find something a little more exciting..."
Hindi: "i'm really drawing a blank... uhm....
Ma: "Ask your readers for suggestions..."
Hindi: "Ma... that is so nerdy."
Ma: "Listen, unlike you, i have a life... and now i have to go..."
Hindi: "I also have a life, is it my fault it's currently revolving around instant bed making for random ghost guests and igneous rocks?"
Ma: "Rocks? What rocks?"
Hindi: "Ma... my test tomorrow... the one on the stupid rocks... that i've been studying for three days for..."
Ma: "They are stupid and I don't know why you are taking such a stupid subject.... what's the subject called anyway?"
Hindi: "The same thing Moo's taking for a year now..."
Ma: "called what?"
Hindi: "the science of the earth, fascinatingly boring, makes laundry look cool"
Ma: "well, listen, why can't you take a class on domesticity, and learn how to use the new lettuce spinner that you almost broke...now that's important... and honey when did you drop your 'y' i'm taking it as a personal offense to both your father and particularly myself... i demand the Y return!!!
Hindi: "okay... fine.... i'll bring back the 'y' even tho 'i' looks more balanced...
Ma: "what's this about balance?! You were never balanced! whoever told you such a bubeh meiseh!"
Hindy: "Bubby Hesh. actually...."
Ma: "Seriously, the night is late... go make lunch for tomorrow and concentrate on not breaking the new lettuce spinner... nice meeting y'all- and please voice your opinions on how boring this blog has been, i know i'm not alone...you're all just too scared to speak up.... and the person who is always bashing my daughter and her opinions.... i'm onto you... i really am... and i know who you are... i'll be watching you..."
Hindy: "Ma, i think you need some sleep...your snapping into a few pieces... you think anyone is going to believe us that we are sitting here typing this together like we have nothing better to do at 12:45 am?"
Ma: "i guess it's genetic."
Hindy: "well now we don't have to worry about blog readers...it's just you and me... and we live together anyway..."
Ma: "But this is much more fun than talking..."
G'Night.

my ma told me that she is going to respond to all of your 'shout-outs' individually [she thinks she's this new blog rock star ;) ]... but she's got a turkey in the oven [with the oven repair man standing by] a house full of guests and alternate parking to contend with [so she'll be back oohh... any day now i suppose]


I love the X... your luck you found somewhere to put it in your name. i have a friend she added a middle initial Q. [also such a cool letter] for a while, short for Queenie {which she is} i suppose-

ciao
