Making Children Cry

Best thing yet on CrazyThingsParentsText.com:

Kid: What do you want to do this weekend?
Mom: Make elaborate Hogwarts rejection letters. Put in mailboxes of my enemies.

My only problem with a lot of these is that I have a hard time imagining that they're not just all made up.

You should never doubt the ingenuity of a Mother to come up with crazy things. We've been raising kids, after all. It can make us a little cracked. >_> (That said, I don't hang out at that site, so I could be wrong. Maybe. Possible. Perhaps.)

It's not that I don't believe that such conversations could have happened (although some of them, frankly, I don't), but I'm skeptical that people would choose to put such things into text messages.

*beth checks the texts she's sent her mom*

[discussion of what to get for my kid]
Mom: K. Getting 4 Xmas.
Me: If it is talking doll, I keel u.
Mom: Paper dolls 2 make n 2 books.
Me: Niooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Not as amusing as some on the site (I went and looked!), but the ones I saw seem reasonably plausible.

No, if my kids and I had been texting way back when, I definitely would have sent stuff like that.

I WISH MY MOTHER WOULD TEXT ME THAT. Ahem.
