Yo u r

Mom Said

What?

HUMOR

We were new to the neighborhood, so my par-

ents invited a few couples over to play bridge.

Pleasantries were exchanged, families were

discussed, backgrounds compared.

“You’re from New England!” my stepfather, a

proud Connecticut Yankee, declared when he

detected a telltale accent from one of the men.

“Yes,” the man said, “but I bet you can’t

guess where my wife is from.”

Does your mother have a habit of

saying things she shouldn’t?

Then you will surely enjoy

our fond and funny collection

of “mamapropisms.”
