This past Sunday (mother’s day) so many of you filled out funny stories about your mom that I would like to share them with all of you to enjoy. Below are anonymous stories about our mothers, that you have lived…Thanks for sharing, and enjoy!!
When I first got my drivers license I had a Chinese fire drill. I didn’t know the cops were just a little too close to me.. He followed me home - only 3 blocks. Thank God my parents weren’t home When I told my mom later she said something funny - “If you ever get taken to jail, your father will come and get you!” That was a nervous laugh I had after she said that.
Mom is always funny when we go on vacation. On the trip down she will drink several cans of pop and will have to stop to use the restroom and than she repeats the same behavior knowing that we will have to keep stopping. THis has gone on for many years. Since she is the world’s greatest mom, it is hard to tell her “WE JUST WANT TO GET THERE!”
Driving lessons: My mom was a wonderful chauffer, but a horrible driving teacher. I learned to drive on a standard shift car. My mom tried to teach me, but couldn’t help too much. SHE WAS LAUGHING TO HARD!
When I was in 1st grade I didn’t like school. So one day I decided I was going to run. I ran for 2-3 hrs before she found me (they had parents and police looking for me!!). When she found me I told her I didn’t want to go to school today, so she took me home.
My mom would give me words of wisdom - such as when she was teaching my sister and I how to drive…at a dangerous intersection she said “there are hundreds of accidents at this intersection everyday!.” Also, when we were teenagers - “nothing good happens after dark, so come home before then!” When she tried to protect us from strangers “girls get abducted at this store every week!”…She exaggerated but I love her.
Mom was backing out of our garage (my older brother was about 4) and she heard a thump, but kept driving anyway. As she went to pull out of the driveway she turned around and realized he fell out of the car and rolled away.
This happened when gas stations switched from having your gas pumped for you to doing it your self. The first time my mother went to a self serve gas station she put her window down and said to the gas pump “I want $5 please.” She proceeded to talk to the gas pump “I want $5 please!” My sister finally told her you have to get out and pump it yourself.
My mom always made homemade blackberry pies. One day she was baking the pies and all of the sudden the juice from the berries caught the oven on fire. My mom opened the oven and took out the pies fire and all. There was no way she was leaving the pies!
2 week ago my mother had surgery on her foot and came to stay at my house along with my father. The phone kept ringing, my father would answer the phone and hand it to my mom. He gave her the cordless and told her to answer it by just pushing the button. When the phone kept ringing later that day he asked why she didn’t answer, and she said it wouldn’t work, she pushed all the buttons…well she was holding the tv remote.
My mom was the shortest person in the house when we grew up. One day she was angry at us three boys so she climbed up on a kitchen chair with her yard stick (all 5′3”) and proceeded to look at us with me being the shortest at 6′1” and said ” come here!!”…we walked in picked her up and put her on the floor and told her to stay off the furniture you are going to hurt yourself.
When my mom, dad and I were driving by an Eckard drugstore, I wondered why they called it Eckard. We thought about it , when my mom said”Maybe when they were thinking of a name, a window washer was cleaning the windows of their office. He was using a squeegee and made the sound ek-ard. And they used that name.”
My mom is the most incredible burper! she can suck in a ton of air and let it out in strange burping tones. My mom is special because she’s the most awesome burper!
My mom always always has a smile on her face and enjoys a good laugh. We spent many hours through the years at the card store, reading the funny cards and laughing out loud like we were the only ones there. I don’t have one favorite story but a conglomeration of silly th in things we’ve done. The car in the ditch in NC, the wigs we modeled in - I love my mom for being herself!
(this story is about my friends mom) She raised a large farm family of 7 kids in the New Alexandria area, so getting all her 7 young ones ready on Sun AM before church was always hectic for her. But one Sunday she arrived and distributed all 7 into their respective Sunday School classes and went to the coat rack to hang up her coat. But as she unbuttoned the first 2 buttons on her coat she realized she only had her nightgown on underneath her coat. Undeterred, she kept her coat on and went in and worshiped the Lord and no one but her and God knew.
