My mom is a fob. Most recently, she’s started signing her emails, “This is mum the word,” a convoluted, redefined version of “Mum’s the word,” only she uses it to emphasize the authority of her advice. For example:
“Remember to drink lots of water. This is mum the word. With lots of love, mummy.”
And that’s why one of my favorite websites is My Mom is a Fob, a laugh-out-loud collection of texts, conversations, emails, and notes submitted by the offspring of the most fobulous mothers. My favorite post yet (partly because my mom has sent me something very, very similar):
A “Going Away” Card
My mom wanted to give me a card before my move to New York. She had this one lying around…
Me: Mom, this is a business card about financial investment!
Mom: Well… we talk about your Roth IRA?
