GET THIS FUCKING CAT OFF MY HEAD
so i had this dream last night. i was alone in this office and this woman comes in with her kids. i thought she must've been the boss' wife, though she didn't say so. there was a large porcelain orange cat right where they came in, and one of her kids started freaking out. i said, "it's not real, it's not real." then the mom said the same thing to reassure the kid and he calmed down. but then a real cat in the same orange colour was standing right in front of me. i thought it came in with the family. it had an attack look in its eyes. i was so scared and then it jumped on my head. it was making horrible sounds, like it was about to maim me, and the woman just walked around the office non-chalantly while her cat was planning on killing me. so i started screaming at her, "GET THIS FUCKING CAT OFF MY HEAD!"
afterwards, still in the dream, i was talking to other people about the incident, saying things like, "it was okay that i was angry, right? she should've taken the cat off my head right away, right?"
so hunny, what do you think?

i know you all think i'm psycho about this kind of stuff, but this site is honest and real, and it helps people and non-people in need. (if you all weren't so jaded, you'd know it's true.)
go to the place where you "click", not to the "store." every day there is a heartwarming story. check out today's story about elijah the cat. fabulous.
the tabs to click are on top of the page, providing among other things free mammos and nutrition to children and animals in need; you can even save part of the rain forest. how about checking it out today, even if just today.
it's like, if you can sit in your kitchen wearing just a bathrobe and from right where you are, in about a minute, you can help sustain life in your universe, why not?
i'm well aware that non-believers like sage are sure this is a scam. if it is, all i can say is i've been clicking for a number of years now, and other than my car being towed in somerville the other day, i have not been scammed.
love,
mom

I did it and it wasn't painful. In fact, I feel good.
And here's my first 2011 toast to mom - the world would be a better place with more good souls like you. Keep the faith baby

Chinese Mothers
From JP to EFMM: My dad sent this email about this tyrannic Chinese mother without any context, followed by the message below.

Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior
CAN A REGIMEN OF NO PLAYDATES, NO TV, NO COMPUTER GAMES AND HOURS OF MUSIC PRACTICE CREATE HAPPY KIDS? AND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY FIGHT BACK?
By AMY CHUA
A lot of people wonder how Chinese parents raise such stereotypically successful kids. They wonder what these parents do to produce so many math whizzes and music prodigies, what it's like inside the family, and whether they could do it too. Well, I can tell them, because I've done it. Here are some things my daughters, Sophia and Louisa, were never allowed to do:
• attend a sleepover
• have a playdate
• be in a school play
• complain about not being in a school play
• watch TV or play computer games
• choose their own extracurricular activities
• get any grade less than an A
• not be the No. 1 student in every subject except gym and drama
• play any instrument other than the piano or violin
• not play the piano or violin.

My Classic Momism

Mom. Nice thought, but, in case you have forgotten, you have never once said that to either of us. I hope you enjoyed the wedding!

Dreading this afternoon's wedding a wee bit. However, I'm trying to take the advice I always gave you kids. In case you have forgotten, it is to always anticipate with hope the unexpected. I'll let you know how it goes.

I never said that? In my head that's my classic "Momism." Could you indulge me in a little revisionist history here?

Pre-Cleaning Lady Clean...?
From: Mom
so some people might say, "cut them some slack. you were away for a long time; they did the best they could."
i say, ENOUGH WITH THE SLACK-CUTTING. YOU TWO ARE PIGS. the people from the cleaning service are coming tomorrow. i went into your bathroom, not to make it spotless, but to remove enough filth so i would have a shot of them coming back. the bathtub had so much hair in it. it was so disgusting. i won't say i'm ashamed. yes i will. i'm ashamed.
THIS IS:
THIS IS NOT: YOUR COLLEGE DORM
