Alternatively Titled: See? Being a total spaz is genetic!
Heather: So, I went to my first Pilates class today. And if I don’t DIE from how hard it is, I think I will have a very strong back and stomach when all is said and done.
Mom: First glance at your email, and I thought you said you went to your first PIRATES class today! Pilates is somewhat disappointing after that.
Heather: Oh, MAN! Pirates class! Where do I sign up???
Mom: Exactly what I thought, then, oh… exercise. Hmm. You think it was hard today? It’s tomorrow when you will rue the day you ever HEARD of Pilates. You’ll be wanting to walk the plank to Davy Jones’ locker, thacha will, matey. It’ll be yo-ho-ho and a bottle of Ben Gay.
Heather: …
Pirates classes would be sweet!
my mom also gives me pep talks like that…
Your mom and my mom should talk. I don’t know whether to be comforted or afraid that there may be another mom out there like mine.
I love Pilates but your mom’s right. After that first class, you’re hurting.
I daresay your mom might be competitive with mine own.
YARRRR!
Hey, don’t rule out pirate classes. The first guy over here on my mother’s side was a recently retired “gentleman of fortune,” as they were so delicately referred to back in the day (“the day” being c. 1719), and the family’s done OK. These days, people are so wimpy you just have to *mention* a cutlass and they start doing whatever you want. (But don’t try this trick in airports.)
i just think it’s fabulous that your mom speaks pirate. mine speaks british aristocracy, and thats about it.
great! now you’ve got that Fixx song stuck in my head. great post. pirate class indeed.
Oh my goodness, I wish my mom were as cool! She’d be lost after the inquiry as to where you could join the pirates class. And anyway, they have strip tease classes, so I doubt that’s far behind.
ha… your mom cracks me up! And sounds like something my mom would say.
HA! Nothing else to say, except; very funny.
My mom asked for a bb gun for Christmas a couple of years ago. She’s a farmwife who cooks a lot, and the barn cats would follow her around. She got sick of it.
Yeah, we’re from Oklahoma. But actually pretty cultured besides that. Dad even listens to Mozart and Chopin when he’s driving the tractor…
Thats so funny
I’m afraid your mom is more than right about how you’re gonna feel tomorrow. I have one thing to say : ibuprofen. You’ll be willing to date the guy who invented that molecule after that!
Actually, I had a brutal yoga session on Saturday, so I was in more pain yesterday than I am today. I actually think Pilates helped the sore factor. I was rueing even before I set foot in the studio! And today, I feel sore, but in that awesome good way. Like, discovering muscles I didn’t know existed.
Your mom is my favourite.
Pirate talk??
From your mom?
All my mom knows about pirates is that Johnny Depp was hot with eyeliner.
Yes, my mom says the word hot.
And the only other talk she does is baby talk!
You are so lucky…
I think I love your mom…that is coolness.
I heard that stuff is no joke. Let me know how it goes!
Your mom rocks!
Hysterical. I rue the mornings I go to the gym and that’s every morning. Good for you for going to pilates!!
Would this involve Johnny Depp?
I’d take a look alike…
