OK, true story...too funny not to share.

Ok, so I was speaking with my mom a few weeks ago on Mother's Day, and she asks me about my car. She's a little hard of hearing, so it got to be a little frustrating. Here's basically how that part of the conversation went...

Mom - "So what car did you get?"......Me - "Scion tC"......"Shine-on PC?"......"No, Toyota Scion, TC"......"Oh, I'm not sure what that kind of car is. Well do you like it?"......"Yeah I love it"......"What color did you get?"......"black cherry pearl"......"What??"......"Black Cherry Pearl"......"I don't understand. What are you saying?"......"BLACK CHERRY PEARL"......"What kind of color is Black Jerry Curl?"......"No, maroon, or burgandy"......(silence)......"Why are you being so mean to me? I just wanted to know the color"

Now I'm feeling like crap. She thinks I called her a moron on Mother's Day. Oh, my poor mom with her bad hearing. She can be funny when she's not trying to be.

Argh, I couldn't help but bust out laughing when she said black jerry curl. I just hope I don't tell others my car is "black jerry pearl" or "black cherry curl"

 

I don't think that's bad hearing... that's called being deaf.

Maybe you should just email her or something... wait... she's not blind too, is she?

 

Email??? LOL, my mom can barely use the TV. She's had a DVD player for about 3 years now. She's used it once (when I came home and showed her how to use it) In fact, she doesn't even own a computer. The last computer in that house was when I was in high school living at home. (showing my age) We had a Radio Shack Tandy 1000. Man, was that thing truly a bad computer. It displayed 1 color. Green. It did have a 56k modem. I did have the original pong system too. Ahh, the days of playing pong. Good times.

Anyways, my mom's TI. (Technologically Impaired)

Fortunately, I still love her. Even though she can drive me crazy with her hearing.

My wife seems to think it's hereditary. But she's now understanding that it's just Selective Hearing.

 

thats a funny story

 

I wish there was a black jerry curl color, and the car was always wet

 

^^lol and you have to spray your jerry curl juice on it to keep it fresh! :D

 

time for either a sonic ear or to put her in a retirement home lol

 

Black jerry curl, hah, that rocks.

 

lol..funny stuff

 

Hahahah awww.. your poor mom.
It's ok though, my grandmother went around telling everyone I had a 'Saturn Ion'... dear god NO.

 

haha poor moran

 

thats the funniest thing i've ever heard in my life hahaha

 

I'm not even sure if my mom knows much of anything about Jerry curls. We didn't exactly grow up in the hood.

But she did see "Coming to America" so maybe I need to give her more credit.
Man that was a funny movie. One of Eddie's best. He sure has gone down hill since Pluto Nash and Norbit.
