Would you be mortified if your mom said this to you?

Background:  We were hit by the "snowacolypse" starting Tuesday night.  At 9pm our power went out.  I had been texting my mom about the storm b/c my hometown was also hit...so here's part of our text "convo":

Me: "$hit, we just lost power!!"

Mom:  "are you guys going to be okay"

Me:  "Yah, we have candles lit and flashes.  But w/no tv or wireless, we're going to get bored fast"

Mom:  "The best thing do now is to just snuggle up and try to make some babies"

Me: "Mom, ew! Can't believe u'd say that.  We are definitely not doing that"

Mom: "Okay, I know I know, but wait untill Nov 1, there will be a baby boom. When people have nothing else to do, they have sex"

 haha, my mom is SO bizarre!  Needless to say, we lost power for 7 hrs.  We drank 2 bottles of wine, had adult time and played cards until I had enough red wine to pass out.

Re: Would you be mortified if your mom said this to you?

  • haha...not with my mom. I'm pretty used to her comments like that.

    glad you made a bad situation fun though!

  • nah, I'd expect it from my mom...Come to think of it when we got hit with the ice on Wednesday she called to see if my hubby went to work and if we had power; maybe she was hoping for a Nov. surprise ;-)

    haha.  You must have great relationships with your moms...mine and I are close, but not close enough that I don't think it's awkward for her to say!
  • I know I've heard somewhere that there was a mini baby boom 9 months after that big blizzard of '78, lol.

  • Haha that's awesome. I wouldn'y be too mortified, but that's just my mom. She's actually really quiet around most people, but she gets a kick out of saying shocking things to the family. When DH & I were at her house for Christmas, I made some awesome rum punch & said, "Hey Mom, come check out this concoction." Her response was, "Sara, don't say ***. It's not ladylike. Muahahahaha!"

    Oh Moms!

  • That's nothing... I told my mom after Zumba the other night that I MIGHT be KU and she started screaming and skipping around the gym... so not subtle mom, so not subtle. She wants a grandchild and makes NO attempt to hide it lol. 

  • LMAO that is too funny. My mom says whatever comes to mind and sometimes its just things you dont want to hear...lol

    And I totally cant wait to see how many babies show up in about 9 months...lol

  • My Mom and I are actually super open about sexual stuff.  It used to make me uncomfortable when she would talk about stuff when I was younger, but I guess I've grown into it.  The other day she called me twice but I didn't answer because I was getting me a piece, and when I returned her call she asked why I didn't answer and I told her, "Because I was getting me some Jason."  I'm pretty sure I made her blush on the other line.

  • Not so shocking to hear that from my Mom... I'd probably give a nervous laugh that would tip her off that we're trying! Both his and my parents can't wait to have another grandbaby. His mom reads it into everything I say about kids...
