My mom is the greatest human being on the planet. Plain and simple. Growing up, I watched her herd two daughters to and from various after school activities, be "room mom" for our grade school classes, cooked dinner most nights and keep a social calendar all while running a successful OBGYN clinic. Of course, there are things she says that completely crack everyone up and I have compiled just a few. Happy Mother's Day, Mom!
1. "Oh my stars!"
Whenever my sister or I say something outlandish she always comments back with "oh my stars!". It is a typical southern saying that she is perfected the delivery of. Speaking of southern sayings or well insults rather, "bless your heart" is another one with perfect delivery.
2. "What do you think about me now.."
I am sure by now everyone is familiar with the song by Toby Keith, "How Do You Like Me Now" well my mom is notorious for BUTCHERING song lyrics. Instead of singing the song as the title goes, she sings "what do you think about me now...". Dear God I love her!
3. "I birthed you!"
And her all-time favorite comeback is, "Well I birthed you!" I can't even count the number of times I have heard that.
4. "It's that time of year you just don't ask questions."
But my all time favorite momism is one I have adopted to use against her. Anytime around Christmas or birthdays and we started asking questions about presents or party plans she would say, "It's that time of year you just don't ask questions."
