Moms are cool: T/F

I like my mom because we can talk about things like colors for hours that no one else would want to talk about. Or lightbulbs. Or Count Chocula.

OTOH sometimes moms are not cool.

definitely cool, especially when around cool kids, cuz that's a fun combination.

i like her, but my mom isn't very cool

True for a pretty large subset of moms and a rather small subset of the meanings of "cool".

i was always jealous of the kids who could like have their moms hang out with everyone without it being weird

my mom and i aren't on speaking terms right now. it's weird. but then the other night i had a dream that she died. and then i ended up watching Imitation of Life on TV, in which the mom dies and her daughter only realizes how much she loved her afterward. it hit home!

Just gave my mum a computer and helped her get on the Internets for her first time. So far so good: She can email and watch YouTube.

show her this thread

very T. my moms just paid for a ticket for me, and sent me cookies the other day

in 1980 my mom agreed to pick up Frank Zappa tickets for me, from the local outlet at the Hughes & Hatcher department store...when she got there, the machine was down, so she drove down to the Masonic Temple and waited in line with all the freaks...the guy at the ticket window assumed she was there for Nutcracker tickets...she got 15th row seats for me...thanks, mom!

We need an "Is Yr Mom a Freak?" thread.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

i.e. if my mum is cool then my arse is prime minister.

My mom was childhood friends with Paul Mavrides (underground comic artist/original Subgenius guy) as well as the guys from Devo. Which is completely the coolest thing ever. Ohio must have been weird in the 70s.

my mom is pretty cool. she fronts like she's a badass (mostly to her coworkers and my friends) but she's totally a mom.

i just realized in the last year or so that my mom is a human just like me with feelings and confusion and mad humor and shit and that was pretty eye opening.

my mom is not cool in that she has terrible taste in everything (except her cooking which is fab) and doesn't know how to use a computer but she is super-cool in that she lets my sibs and i do whatever the hell we want and we've never had a massive fight over anything.

My mom and a baby puppy!

I think my mom is the most beautiful lady!

She donated a kidney recently just because she's always wanted to.

that's properly wonderful

beary pretty

She is 50 in that pic, so hard to believe.

O_O

Good clean Mormon living I guess.

Spirit has so much to do with how people age imo. Older people who look young are the best people to have around.

xp oh er nm

Ha yes she has a great heart
I love her also because she is a total fucking wiseass.

abbbottt yr moms is totally cuet.

my mom is about 1200 times cooler than she was when i was in hs. i think she takes paxil (or something along those lines) now, which has done WONDERS.

My mom was 40 when I was born so the generation gap was more like a chasm for most of my life (me = punk rock anarchist, her = conservative republican & usher at Nixon's funeral) but as we've both gotten older she's found a groove for herself even though she's wistful that most of her friends are dead.

She's 85 now and still crazy active - skiing, traveling around (just got back from a couple weeks in the UK) and working on her '67 XKE. She doesn't own or want a cell phone or an answering machine, but an Aston Martin? Hell yeah...

(she doesn't like having her picture taken, so here's a picture of her garage)
