I promise I will finish up the next couple of days of the wedding recap but this was *too good* to not post about.
I’m an addict when it comes to Thursday night TV. Desperate Housewives I love, but can miss and watch online and be okay. Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice? Not so much. I even got my mom and grandma hooked on these shows. Alright… I’m getting to a point, I swear. Last night on Private Practice Sam gave a speech about his daughter on her wedding day. When she was little she called him her “Anyway Friend” which is to say… You can pee in my cheerios all you want, I love you anyway. Very cute. It was a touching moment for about five seconds and then this happened:
The Scene…
Me, laying on the couch, grumped out about this ridiculous carb loading diet I’m on for my three hour glucose test on Monday. (Part one of Kallay: Lab Rat for a Day) Mom is laying on the chair with her legs hanging off the arm. The Anyway Friend scene begins.
The Anyway Friend scene ends and…
Mom: “You’re my Anyway Friend!”
(I grumble and adjust myself so I can look at my mother.)
Me: “Um… that’s because you gave birth to me.”
Mom: “Well, yeah!!”
Me: “No seriously, I feel bad because here you were all 5’2″ with new socks and you had to birth what might as well have been a full grown child! I mean, you had to push me out of…”
Mom: “My ass!”
Me: “Mom, babies don’t come out of the ass.”
Mom: (pointing to her nah nah place) “No they come out of there!”
Me: “Mom, I’m almost twenty eight years old! We are not having ‘The Talk’ now! I know where babies come from! I assure you… it’s not the ass!”
Mom: (laughing and not breathing)
Me: “But if I did, in fact, come from your ass, then that would explain a whole lot of things. That would make me a living, breathing, somehow growing, piece of shit! Or possibly just a very productive fart. In either case… life is suddenly making sense for me!”
Mom: (crying and laughing)
Me: “Good talk!”
Mom: “No wonder we used to call you a little shit!”
Me: (sigh)
To my mother, who embodies duplicity and every blonde joke ever written, I love you anyway…. friend.
I have to say that I got all teary-eyed when I watched Sam give his toast this morning as I watched it via ABC.COM. I have a post drafted regarding “Anyway” friends!!!! Be sure to look for it!!!
By the way…..your convo with your mom has me on tears as well!!!! I love how she refers to you as “a little shit”. And how it all ties in!!!!
I loved the scene. Seriously… I just started to get teary and then The Talk happened 27 years too late and at exactly the wrong time. My mom is hilarious and she doesn’t even know it. I can’t wait to read your Anyway Friends blog!
I love this show. So many fantastic lines…
I don’t really watch TV regularly enough to get into any shows (I know…I’m a mutant), but I do love Grey’s on occasion. Although I have really nothing to add since I have seen nothing of this season.
HOWEVER. Your mom is HILARIOUS. I can totally see where you got it. Hilarity is hereditary you know.
Yeah I don’t watch a ton of tv either. I get bored. I blame the internet for making me a rampant multi-tasker. My laptop is always on. Always. So watching tv and only doing ONE thing at a time makes me feel useless and unproductive. I’m so glad I got the funny gene though. I wish I could have gotten her eyelashes… I think my sister stole all of those genes.
im totally the same way….laptop on, me surfing, while watching tv. i get all fidgety if i try to just sit and watch tv.
Greys used to be my absolute favorite…now its Private Practice.
and the ‘anytime friend’ OMGosh…loved that speech
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who can’t sit still around here! Haha!
I love the conversations you have with your mom! They remind me of the ones I have with my own. They aren’t blondes, but they’re just as hysterical.
Oh God!!!! I can’t imagine having two of my mother. Seriously… I would have jumped a long time ago. She is insanely hilarious but sometimes she’s just down right annoying. But… she’s my mommy. And I love her anyway.
Bleh. Grey’s is getting lame. Sorry but true. It used to be that show that I could not WAIT to watch. Now. It’s just something on.
That convo with your mom is AWESOME though. it sounds like something goofy my mom would say.
yeah grey’s has been kind of weak this season. i keep waiting for the BIG thing to happen but so far… no dice. i loved this week’s episode though. so we’ll see…
i’m glad i’m not the only one with a cartoon mother!
LMAO!!!!!!!! That conversation,… insanely funny!
Love love Private Practice, and yeah, have a uber unhealthy crush on Sam… Sadly would have to wait months before they would show it in my country.
aww… boo.
thank god for the internet! right? also, i too have a crush on sam. he’s just pretty. 
ha! little shit.
i’ve been meaning to stop at your place, too! i did read the awesome blog hack from salt and allyson! congrats on getting hitched.
why did you switch from blogger to wordpres… out of curiosity..
Hey! I’m so glad you came by! (again!) Salt and Ally are hysterical. I died laughing when I read that. I still do…
I’m not getting married… yet! lol Someday…
And I switched from Blogger to WordPress because I’m eventually going to self host and it’s easier to do over here. WordPress handles the traffic a lot better plus I love the layout too. With Blogger you’re kind of tied to one thing… over here you can pick and choose. It’s easier to upload pictures too. And comment. I just love it over here. I have no regrets about switching at all. The process was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be too. That was my biggest concern. It went as smooth as a river rock though.
hahahahaha!!! dude, our moms would totally be bffs if they met. my mother is also big on ridiculous conversations that from the start appear to have some informational value, and then turn into crazy ramblings that eventually end in hysterical laughter. great story
My mom is totally the woman who makes friends with everyone! Wouldn’t that be fun to have a girls’ weekend and have them meet? Haha! We would never stop laughing and the wine? Yeah… that would be flowin’ too.
Awesome! My mom always called me a little shit as well. Suddenly I’m questioning everything. Thank you for the food for thought Kallay!
LOL!!!! So what you’re saying is… we’re two little shits! That’s fantastic!!
Oh, Kallay… that is TOO FUNNY! You two are obviously peas in pod.
A very productive fart? That one about sent me over the edge, fyi.
Yes, as we usually tell people… “Apple… tree.”
My mom is a blast! She totally gets my brand of humor. Haha! (probably because she invented it.)
