19 years since leaving home, I moved back in with my mother very recently on a strictly short term basis before I go travelling again.

By travelling, clearly I mean aircraft and air-con hotels rather than beaches and dreadlocks.

Anyhooo.

Morning number 1 with my mum after 19 years...

Mum: Morning love, would you like a coffee?

Me: Yeah, thanks Mum, that would be good.

Mum: Do you want some breakfast love?

Me: No Thanks Mum, I don't eat breakfast.

Mum: I've only got brown bread.... is that ok?

Me: No thanks Mum, I don't eat breakfast.

*slight pause* (um, like 2 minutes)

Mum: I've got some Shredded Wheat if you like....

Me: Really Mum, I don't eat breakfast.

Mum: I'm sure there was some white bread in one of the boxes that you brought from your house yesterday.....

Me: It's OK Mum, I don't eat breakfast.

*another slight pause*

Mum: I found the white bread... I put 2 peices in the toaster....

Me: OK, Mum... as it's in the toaster I'll eat it.....

*24 hours goes by*

Mum: Morning love, would you like a coffee?

Me: Yeah, thanks Mum, that would be good.

Mum: Do you want some breakfast love?

Me: No Thanks Mum, I don't eat breakfast.

Mum: *tersely* WELL... YOU HAD BREAKFAST YESTERDAY !!!!!

*sigh* I need outta here.

eh? what is "rong ting tong"? anyways, thanks for the welcome. and also, my mom and i don't seem to communicate all that great either. i think in your case, your mom is just overly-worried 'bout your stomach. lol

Kikki... My mum is just toooooooo lovely... lol

Taffy... Rong... damn I hit the wrong button... meant Hong.... as in room... sorry

Ting Tong = Mad

Hong = Room

TF = Mad room

Aoplogies for the confusion

awwww but don't ya feel young again, lol

Same as my mom... but breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Hi,

I am thinking about my little son.

Yeh I do the same as your mom 555

Breakfast is the important for the day:))))

Cheers

LOL!

Seems all mothers share the same gene pool! Long, long time since I stayed at home but the conversation is spookily familiar!

Do you also find that you are amazed how few words it takes to tell your mum what has happened in your life in the last 1 day, 1 week or 1 year.

Does she also:

Turn your electric blanket on or put a hot water bottle in your bed before you go to bed

Make your bed in the morning (before you even have a chance)

Ask what you want for dinner at 8.30 in the morning

Buy food that she remembers you liked as a child

Look on the bright side. It will certainly help you focus on saving every penny possible as quickly as possible

They mean well, we love them dearly and we miss them but there comes a time when we just can?t live with them anymore

mum keep us eternally young.. : )

Yeah, moms have that magic way about them...she got you to eat breakfast right? hahaha

rich, when you're outta there i'm gonna hound you no matter where you go and make sure you eat a healthy, wholesome breakfast... there is nowhere you can hide... you might as well surrender now...

Hey! I should move back with my mom also! She offers me beers for breakfast. No kidding!!! That's 'liquid bread'... :-D

Rich, be a good boy and do as your momma says. You'll never grow up to be a strong healthy lad. Why, I wouldn't be half the man I am today without mum's breakfasts -- or was it dad's smack around the ear?

hahaha... does that bring back some old memory or what? u r the same boy who haven't aged since you left home 19 years ago. Good luck

lol.... bet you had breakfast this morning mate.

Moms always concern about children's eating and your mom is so cool *.*/

... u should be thankfull.... i HAVE to tell my mom...

"MOM~!! Save some of that stuff for me!"

otherwise my lil sis and my bro. eat it all.... especially the good stuff. lol
