My mom is the spice that makes everything fun. She's a straight arrow that can't resist laughing at a dirty joke. These are the memories that may surprise you-
Mom wetting her pants from laughing so hard while jumping on the Gees trampoline. Yes, that's correct my mom went to a fellow ward members house, jumped on their trampoline and laughed so hard she wet her pants.
Mom stopping everything to spend a lazy afternoon with us watching Mariners games on the couch. Dad coming home and cleaning the house.
Mom watching dirty comedies with us as teenagers and asking through gut wrenching laughter "you're sure this is only PG-13", "oh yes mom".
Mom then making sure we got the moral of the story. So much to be learned from Deuce Bigalo.
Mom with a broken ankle playing Wii bowling till the wee hours of the morning determined to better her score. All while balancing on that funny scooter she went everywhere with.
Dad buying Mom her very own Wii to make amends for buying himself a Ford Focus and then putting every upgrade on it known to man. One of their better fights.
Mom's recent conversation with me about her dreams of kayaking the Columbia River.
Mom singing at the top of her lungs while driving the car. Which is much safer than my Dad's approach, sleeping while driving the car.
Mom giving us our birthday presents and Christmas gifts with the tags still on them and days after the actual holiday.
Mom fulfilling her dreams of cashiering a dollar store.
Mom introducing us to uplifting movies and TV shows such as, The Naked Gun, Police Academy, and Saturday Night Live.
