An acquaintance of mine from college, Jen, brought this great link to my attention: Postcards From Yo Momma. Despite the dumb name, the site manages to be both hilarious and sweet at the same time. The concept is simple: it’s a collection of reader submissions of emails they get from their moms. I know I found myself laughing one minute and missing my mom the next. It’s kind of like Chicken Soup for the Soul mixed up with Overheard in New York.
After reading through a couple of pages, the eerie similarities that apparently span all moms start to emerge, which makes you realize that although all of our moms are special in their own quirky ways, there are some things that seem to be utterly universal.
For example, all moms are a bit more interested in the weather - both where they are located and where you are located, as well as the exact highs and lows and possibly the humidity — than any other humans. And all moms seem to have adorable and vague words for gross bodily functions, such as “Your Cycle” and “Your Tummy Issues.”
More importantly, all moms seem more concerned about you than anyone else in the world, and sincerely, truly, want you to be safe and well.
