Last Minute Mother's Day Rescue





Have you already discovered that the carwash is out of Mother's Day cards?  That's what happens to slackers who don't wash their cars and don't care about their mothers.  However, my dear reader...Larainy is here to save your family inheritance.  I have composed a variety of sweet sentiments, one of which is sure to make your mother reach for the tissue that she keeps stuffed up her sleeve.  Get out your crayons and start coloring.  It's time to create.


Mom,
you were right.
I’m living in a van
down by the river.
~*~
Happy Mother’s Day…
here’s a hunk of government cheese


 
Mom,
I think I remember
The silly times the most
~*~
Like when you pretended you were dead
To see if I knew how to call 911




Whenever I hear
crickets in the garden on a summer night
~*~
I remember the sound you made 
wearing pantyhose
when you walked down the hall
to tuck me in



Mother,
I love you more than life
~*~
But you still can’t be
my Facebook friend





Thanks for naming me
Moonflower
~*~
It has only made me stronger
 (And I got the job in the hemp store - yea)




Mother,
I beg you
Please don’t marry
The little guy with the bowtie
blue walker, hearings aids,
and industrial strength eyebrows
who sits next to you in the dining room
at Sunset Towers
~*~
He only wants you for your body





Happy Mother’s Day!

Remember…
when you add an “S” to Mother
It spells smother

Dear Mom: Thanks for teaching me so many wonderful things over the years. Especially that potty training thing, I can't tell you how many times that's come in handy.

happy Mothers Day to you, Laraine: a mother I try to emulate.

What Mom wouldn't love one of those tender sentiments? You are a jewel, lady Larainy. Happy day to you too, funny lady.

Does Hallmark know about your talent for writing such sentiments?
You are an untapped wealth of beautiful thoughts and tender memories. The whole cricket noise...outstanding.

learly you've missed your calling... I may use one of these. I've got my crayons and markers out already. And just because I'm feeling particularly resentful towards my soon to be ex-employer, I will use company paper on company time.

You are by FAR one of the funniest people on the planet. I have sent this to many people so they can get the laugh I did today. :)

I love all of these!!! How about - Dear Mom, Thanks for always answering my phone calls - Dad won't accept the collect calls from jail?!?!

Lisa Ricard Claro said...

Hilarious, as always. I loved them all. I think the same thing whenever I visit you - "I don't know what she's drinking, but I want some!" LOL

Bev said...

Simply fabulous. Thank you for the laughs.
