So, KC in Washington, D.C. has a blog, which her mother reads and finds “somewhat amusing, to an extent.” Not everything KC writes meets with Mom’s approval, however.
“She never lectures me,” KC says. “Instead, she post-it notes her grievances and puts them in places I have no other choice but to look at” — a Kix cereal box, for example. (Which I have to admit, I find pretty goddamn adorable.)

Thank you, Mom, for really trying to not say cuss words around me.

Wow this got posted at the best time. I just got passive-aggressively told to not cuss so much on my Facebook status. Maybe I should send it in.

And, do something about that dorky tattoo.
It may have been cool to have the score to “Smell the Glove” for about 5 seconds…

Old enough to have tattoos but young enough to eat Kix? Oh, the adolescent years, how confusing they are.

If my mom found my blog, trust me when I say: the cussing would be the LEAST of her objections.
The various adjectives I’ve applied to her siblings…..okay, those wouldn’t make the short list either. Especially since I suspect she agrees with me, a teeny little bit, about her Bill-O-Reilly-fellating brother in particular. (Though “Bill-O-Reilly-fellating” would probably draw at least a look of deep concern and disapproval, more for the fellatio than for the O’Reilly reference, sad to say.)
Fortunately, pseudonymetry is a w0nderful foiler of maternal snoopishness. Which is good, because it’d be real hard to explain the current state of shizz chez Gladys at the moment.

I hope my mom hasn’t found my blog. Or my old Myspace page. Or pretty much anything that I have ever posted online. Shit.
Also, septum rings are hot.

Goddammit mom,
Stop being such a goddamn fucking pussy and suck it up already. Or least fucking talk to me in person instead of leaving me pussy notes. Fucking hell.
Love,
KC

Thanks, KC.”

This mom is good! Can’t you just hear her disgruntled, dejected, somewhat defeated, *yet still marginally hopeful enough to once again broach the subject of her daughter’s fecal-oral issues* sigh, and imagine the look of disappointment on her face as she writes this?

Kids these days have tatoos and a limited vocabulary.

This mother doesn’t just register her disgust; she’s registered her approval of Kix cereal. ©

Heh, This would’ve resulted in my blog full of archaic swear words with the actual swears in parenthesis.
At the bottom would be my disclaimer that the modern swears are simply translations of archaic terms.
Zounds, I must take leave! (FUCK! I’m late!)

I cannot help but imagine their table communication is somewhat similar. Mother slaps a post-it asking KC to pass the butter onto Dad’s forehead, and maybe KC does and then blogs about it: “Mom asked me to pass the butter and I didn’t notice for forty-five minutes because Dad had broccoli in his teeth and it was distracting. Fuck!”

If mom is serious about getting this kid to clean up their language, she needs to stop buying Kix for the kid. If that doesn’t work she can stop buying fruit roll-ups and juice boxes. The last step is to stop packing their kids Dora back pack with emergency goldfish crackers.

umm why does everyone add their mommy? Are you trying to get less respect. I mean if your a parent and you get your kids stuff on facebook AWESOME. but ifyour a teenager and your stupid then go ahead and be dumb and let them know your extra personal stuff. Actually though i think its great if parents have their kids facebook under check but sometimes lookin too much into their stuff jus aint right hahaha

My sister used to call me up with the same complaint–or leave comments on my now nearly defunct blog with the same complaint. Bedeviled relatives.
