We talked about this before. For all you people who think my mother is ‘precious’ and ‘delightful’ and ‘not completely out of her tree’, I offer up more Mom-isms:
- Eptaleptsy – (n. EPP.tah.lept.see)- abnormal electrical discharges from the brain.
- Amy Bull - (adj. AY.me.bull) – someone who is agreeable or nice. Friendly.
- Prone – (n. PROAN) – sexually explicit materials, erotica.
- Dembitcard – (n. DEM.bit.kard) – a plastic, credit-card like item used to retreive funds from one’s checking account.
If I hear any more, I’ll get a pen and some paymper and write ‘em down. Maybe as a poym.

This is what makes her so dammit cute! All of her little sayings and the way she switches the tracks on your train of thought are just a few examples of why she has quite the following here on your blog.

We like people for their abilities and atributes, but we love them dearly for their quirks.
Even when they drive us nucking futs.
That’s why they’re called family.

Perhaps if you spent a little more time teaching your Mother the English language (she is after all from a far away land) instead of looking at so much PRONE, she wouldn’t have a problem speaking….hmmmmm? I know my mother is very articulate!

Micheal – yes, your mother does have quite the vocabulary. Has it always been so articulate or only since her visit to the choirpractor?

Touche’ and smooch!

I’ll have you know that I ALWAYS think “paymper” when I see a piece of paper since you first posted that.
I hold you responsible.

Especially don’t let her use the dembitcard for prone, no matter how Amy Bully she asks, or even if she threatens to have eptaleptic fits.
