F-Bomb Friday!!




Okay, so this just happened. Like, last night, just happened.
And it's not my F-Bomb to tell, but I'm going to anyway because she owes me. You'll see why in a bit.
Okay, remember yesterday's post? You can go read it and I'll wait.
Done?
Okay.
So did you see the first picture? I'll put it right here so you can have something to refresh your memory from like 10 seconds ago.


It's my face up there if you can't tell. Enlarge it.

Okay, so I thought that post was hilariously funny. I laughed my ass off every time I looked at it. I've looked at it like 1,000 times already and I know when I'm having a bad day, I'm gonna look at it some more.

My mom came over last night and was watching the boys so my husband and I could go to my first grader's parent/teacher conference (it's confirmed by the way; he is a genius).

I asked my mom if she'd seen the post because it was hilariously funny.
She's all, "No, I haven't seen your blog today." (what?! i thought she got up in the morning just to read my blog. what.ever.)

So, I, being the consummate host and my own biggest fan, show her the post.
She's looking at it and she starts to giggle and I'm thinking, Okay, she's getting it, she thinks I'm
hilarious too!

And that's when she says, "That is one ugly woman!"
Haha, I know. Wait. Wha...?
I look at her face and she's dead serious you guys.

So I ask her, "Why do you say that?"
I'm thinking she knows it's me.
She says, "Well, her head's way too big for her body!"
Um. Yeah, it's photoshopped, it generally doesn't fit well.

Then it hits me:
She thought it was real. She thought that was really real and that it was a different person who just happened to have my freaking face!
She thought my face was ugly!
She thought her own flesh and blood, the one who bore her 2 grandsons was ugly. The one who is hilariously funny and who makes her whole life worth living was ugly.
The one who makes the birds sing and the sun shine and the world revolve was ugly.
I don't think I can emphasize just how important I am to this woman.
When I finally get her to realize it's me, photoshopped, she laughs her ass off too. I think because she was embarrassed that she totally just called her daughter (who, by the way, did i mention is very special?) UGLY.

Go ahead guys. Let her have it.

Let's hear your F-Bomb Moment of the week!

The Only Girl said...

That is SO something my mom would do. Or my husband. But then I'd make them pay dearly for it.

Brandy said...

sitting on the mood swing at the playground said...

I'm thinking she meant the dress. I can see my mom doing the same thing.

mama-face said...

I don't get the whole Twilight thing, so the previous post was kind of lost on me. :)

Alicia said...

no she didn't!!!! omg that's funny!! i mean...in a way...lol...happy friday mimi!

Cara Smith said...

What you should do now is photoshop her face on someone next to her crushcrush and show it to her, but not let her know you did it and see what she says.

samantha said...

Hmm curious,,, do you look like your mom or dad? Either way isn't this an insult to herself as well haha. Great post!

Vodka Logic said...

It's quick, my F Bomb moment.. seeing my daughters grades.

Loved the post. Your poor Mom done apologizing yet??

wines constantly said...

Oh god, there really isn't any kind of graceful recovery from that!

My entire day yesterday was one giant F-bomb.

Lee the Hot Flash Queen said...

I am LMAO cuz my mom would do that same thing!!

Christiejolu said...

One congrats on the genious

That was great by the way! LOL! I love your pic of you and Jacob at the beach by the way, on your side bar!

Sheila said...

OMG!!!! That is funny!! I mean NOT FUNNY at all!!! OMG!!! I'm laughing my butt off right now!! Your poor mom!! Don't be mean to her!!!! SHe didn't REALIZE it was you, otherwise she would've said "who is that hot momma hanging with those hot dudes?" TRUST ME ON THIS ONE!!!!

Cathy said...

MOM!!!! omg. sads.

So I must tell you as I was looking at your giant head yesterday all I could think was, MiMi is really pretty she should show more pics of herself. So there. I am better than your mom.

Cassie said...

She totally deserved an F-Bomb post for that one! And I can not believe she doesn't get up in the morning to read your blog. I mean what kind of fan is she anyway?!? LOL

Tanielle said...

I am laughing so hard from these two last posts I am waking up my baby!!! You and your Mom must be amazing!!

Monique-aka-Surferwife23 said...

ok for reals? I think your mom is awesome. And i think maybe she should write her own blog.

At least she READS your blog. All the time I ask my mom if she 'caught my blog today' and she always says, 'Honey, they're too long and I get bored.'

Mrs Montoya said...

She did not think YOU were ugly she thought that the image was ugly. Ya know, the head didn't fit on the body and the skin tone was different, and, and, and . . . Alright forget it. Your Mom called you ugly. You have a therapist, right?

The Redheaded Stepchild said...

I'm sorry I'm laughing so hard....but seriously?~! LOLOLOL

Colleen said...

Holy cow! That's hysterical! Your poor mom! Your poor you! LOL. I'd have died. My mom would've had a caniption (no idea how to spell that).

Great F-Bomb Friday!

hotpants™ said...

I can't stop laughing. It's not funny, but it is.

shortmama said...

somebody has been vewy vewy bad...

Symply Me said...

Okay, I'm going to go on record as saying that at first glance, before I started reading your post yeasterday, I had the same thought as your mother. NOT that YOU were ugly, but that the woman in the picture looked "funny". Once I started reading, and knew it was a joke, I laughed hysterically, but had to let you know that there was more than just your mother ridiculing you yesterday...if only for a second! You know I love you more than my luggage!

Heather said...

That is too funny.

Shawn said...

I know I shouldn't laugh but that's some funny crap!

Kerri said...

funny/sad and i totally did the same thing with mine! i kept looking at it and laughing even putting the pics on facebook so others could laugh too :)

Traci said...

Oh dear... I hope that it's okay that I am totally laughing my a$@ off! Both too funny and too sad and something I could totally see happening to me. That is if I let my mom read my blog!
:-)

Xazmin said...

Hahahahahaha! I'm sorry, but that. is. HILARIOUS!

This is so funny that Tanielle called me when she read it and read it OUT LOUD to me over the phone, because I hadn't been on the computer yet!

Then I had to come back and read it again for myself!

Also...you are verry pretty...you SHOULD put more pictures of yourself up.

Myya said...

I totally knew it was you & yes it is funny looking because your photoshopped face is WAY too big but duh that is what made it even more funny. Your mamma is in sooo much trouble. I think you have some SERIOUS paybacks coming your way. I thought that no matter what our face was supposed to be somethin a mother could love. Don't worry I just got told by my mom & both sisters that my hair looked like shit... but only after I finally cut it did they tell me how awful it was before. NICE huh... here I was looking like total crap for like a year or more.

Daffy said...

Oh good lawd I'm rolling! That is something my mother would do as well....that's just Grand MiMi....just grand!

Lori E said...

I am starting to look like mother of the year. Whew. Thanks for taking the heat off of me.
You know our mommies love us no matter how,um, er, unpretty, we look.
I suggest you remind her who will be picking out her old folks home when the time comes.

DG at Diary of a Mad Bathroom said...

MY mom is also "less than tech savvy", so I can see her doing the same. She actually asked us at Thanksgiving if we had MyFace accounts. God help us all.

Troy said...

I read this and I immediately thought of the scene from the movie Wildcats, where the cheerleader are out there saying:

U- G- L- Y- You ain't got no alibi, your ugly..

Ugly. Ugly. Your Momma says your ugly..

U- G- L- Y- You ain't got no alibi, your ugly..

Personally, I think even with the disproportional head you looked better than some of the people that show their faces at those shows....

UberGrumpy said...

Can I have on of those Photoshop leassons? You did an awesome job. I can hardly tell where the join is.

Unknown Mami said...

I laughed so hard I don't have to do abdominals for a week and next week I'll just re-read this post to get my ab work out in.

I am so sorry that your mother thinks you are ugly. Not really, I'm tickled that your mother called you an ugly big head. Did you tell her you have to have a big head to go with your big mouth?

Fragrant Liar said...

Yeeeee-aaaaaahhhh. Your mom's faux pas was fucking ugly -- if I may actually drop a real f-bomb. I suggest Photoshopping your mom's face on there, next to Mr. Phase on the Fly, and see who she thinks THAT is!

Masala Chica said...

I think that head looks just perfect. It's too bad the guy standing next to you had to ruin the picture.

asshole.

M.L. @ The House of Whimsy said...

Way too funny. You're poor momma...it's only because it was disproportionate, that's all!!
I also LOVED your post, below, as well. Great job!!!
And I'm so excited that you've opened an Etsy. I love how there's no pressure to keep the Store stocked and you can go at your own pace. Good luck!!!

Housewife Savant said...

She's obviously jealous.
We ALL are.

w said...

oh. you're totally gorgeous. and your head isn't that big. i mean, yeah, you could probably swallow a watermelon whole... but dude. your head is the same size as tay's head.

can i call him tay? because i just did.

meredith said...

omg, i'm dying. i think we're kindred spirits. every evening when i go to pick up my dog at my mom's house, i ask her if she read my blog today and she's all like, "no, i forgot." and i'm all like, "wtf? saying you FORGOT to read my blog is like FORGETTING you have a brilliant, amazing 20-something year old daughter!!!" she just looks at me like she's too busy for my crap. i don't think she finds me as funny as i find myself.

Mrs. Petrie said...

That made me laugh out loud!! It was clearly photoshopped, but someone from that generation would think that was real. My parents probably would.

Rhonda said...

Okay, I went from smiling on your last post to laughing out loud, almost pee my pants laughing!!! Your mom, oh dear!!!!!

Jen said...

I hope Mommy Dearest paid for her mistake :)

Shandal said...

Ah, I'm sure it was a honest mistake... bah hahahahaha! Poor Momma is takin' some heat here! I would give my mom lots a crap too though! Haha!

Sara said...

Bless her heart.

That's all I got.

Bless it again and again and again...
