What My Mama Gave Me
My mum recently learnt the Singlish phrase “half past six” and has taken to dropping it into her conversations. I never thought much about this until Alec mentioned she’d asked him (innocently) if he knew the phrase too, whereupon I remembered its actual etymology and OMIGOD.
Then while writing this up to share with you (yeah I know, you’re all like “Well cheers for the thought Michelle, but any conversation involving your mum talking to your husband about floppy dicks should only be shared with us on a NEED TO KNOW BASIS”) I remembered that I used to record mum quotes here when they particularly amused me, but hadn’t done so for ages. Here’s one that shouldn’t slip through the cracks:
My mum, returning from her church group’s Christmas party a few years back: We exchanged gifts. Look at all my booty!
Me: Er, mum, people use that word a bit differently now.
Mum, preoccupied with all her presents and not really listening: Yay, I have so much booty!
Mama [surname deleted] is such a DARLING!
Edit: Sorry Saf, I try to keep my surname off here to make it slightly tougher for people to get here by Googling me. She is a darling though, glad you think so too. :)
LOL! Reminds me of my mom who has a load of quotable quotes herself. We actually had a notebook filled with her quotes when we were on a family vacation.

HAHAHHAHA… and the fact that i actually know your mum makes this all the funnier for me.
She’s so cute!
My mum wears an FCUK t-shirt when she does her grocery shopping that reads ‘Fit Chick Unbelievable Knockers’.
OK, Benny’s mum wins.
Hooray?
LittleYellowDifferents mother wins.
