Tickled, me Elmo

I just spent a whole half an hour chatting to my mom on facebook chat. Did that line just completely stun you? Well, its true and the odd thing is that it felt exactly like I was talking to one of my peers but with added 'manja-ness' on my part. Teehee

Since I've been away email ,text messages and now instant messaging have been very useful means of contact between us. How funny it is to hear from your mom in a total different 'voice' chatting to me as if she was one of us. Sometimes she even adds some short forms like 'bek' and 'gotta'. It is so entertaining.

I also forgot how incredibly humourous and totally lame my parents can be. Just yesterday I got an email from dad telling me about how he was humiliated by a bunch of old ladies when he lost to them on the tennis court that afternoon. Then, in true dad fashion he proceeded to blame the 'wind', his tennis elbow, the lawn court and everything else. I told him he might as well have said there was an earthquake. But the jokes don't end there, today he ended an email to me with 'Kungfu Power' ..... hmmmm.

Mom also doesn't hold back on her funny side in the internet world . Today I received a facebook message from her. Look at what it said.
