Gawker had a post on Blogs that became books.
The Fine Lines blog- books from childhood. Judy Blume!
Also a favorite new blog- Postcards From Yo Momma. People sent in emails that their moms sent them.
Some examples (each paragraph is a different email from a mom):
♦ am going to have my hard working princess daughters spend $100 each for a fancy dinner- food we consume, digest then poo? I would rather spend money supporting the local restaurants. Mama
♦ Hot as the devil, still. A lot of people lost power last week and have really been suffering, so we shouldn’t complain too much, I guess. And you are hotter still, poor baby. Remember, baby powder prevents chafing.
♦ So how is it, girlie girl? Are you okay? We have a guy in the top 15 most wanted on the loose in MS. He stabs and beatrs his victims with a hammer after he robs them. Good grief. That is truly crazy. Let me know how the work is going.
♦ I didn’t ask but did you ride on the bridge? As long as you didn’t jump off then life is good. Or maybe you’d go to a better life. Probably not because then you’d have committed suicide and are doomed to eternal damnation. But maybe you wouldn’t if you asked for God’s forgiveness before you jumped. Who knows. I’m just glad you’re here and my daughter. Love Mom
♦Here’s the worried mom talking “Are you eating well? Have you stopped using anti-perspirant? Will you have fun at Symphony Hall tonight? What’s new? What’s old?”
Give me a reassuring e-mail so that I know you aren’t huddled in a corner, starving, and lonely!!!
When mom found out child was getting a roommate:
♦ Do you really want to go down that road again? I don’t like this idea, you don’t know her well… What if she’s a secret cocaine user… If you guys don’t get along is she going to flip out on you??? There are so many things that could go wrong here… drugs, promiscuity, anger issues. What if she puts super glue in your shampoo as a joke? Things to think about…
That person's roommate's mom had a similar response (and they're not immigrants)
♦ Grumble,,….grumble,…. You don’t know this girl very well….she could leave you stranded with a lease……she could stab you while you sleep…..she could pour boiling hot coffee on you at breakfast…….valley park??? It floods there!!!! There are bugs there!!!!! They don’t rent to immigrants like you!!!!
