That Mama




I found this the other day when I was sorting random papers, an odd relic from last summer. Well, all I can say is that my family is nothing if not eccentric. I'm not sure which is funnier--Hedgie's use of the antique term "courting," the seeming acceptance of the tedious fact that mama has a crush on a fictional character, or that she wrote it down on paper. To whom is it addressed? Is she trying to warn Sarge of the competition?

We're an odd bunch over here.

    i think the funniest part is that she wrote it down.
    mama courting snape is pretty normal, isn't it?

    Is it meant as a ransom note?

    I'm adopting Hedgie. She's my perfect child!!! Too funny. And no, you aren't an unusual bunch, you're just right and I adore and love you.

    Thank you for this. Leah, really, it's just too funny. You're a very lucky woman. I know it's hard being a mom, but you've done a brilliant job. Hedgie is proof.

    XO ;)

    working backwards--

    IV--courting a fictional character is the ONLY way to get action on the side...

    Karrie, hey you! It's great to "see" you--happy back-to-school to you and your gang as well--

    Hi Rima, hope your research/writing's going well...

    Suzanne, we're not unusual but only speaking relatively!!!

    MJ--I think you're right. But who's the hostage?

    Kylie, mama courting Snape is the absolute status quo ante.

    Hi Skeeter!

    Hi Murali!

    Faycat--isn't she eccentric? But then, aren't we all a little?

    love--
