The Christmas letter

December 15th, 2007 by Wen

My mother called to ask me to proofread the family Christmas letter.  I told her to send it to me so I could “funny it up” as her letters tend to be a bit dry…

After I opened the letter I am not so sure I needed to do anything to make it funnier.  I am still trying to dry my eyes after laughing so hard.  And while I won’t share the letter here I’ll leave you with the conversation I just had with my mom:

Mom: Yes?  What did you think?

Me: Well. Um.  The grammar and spelling are good Mom.  Though I am not really sure that you should use the term “colostomy bag” in the second sentence of the letter…

    Is it a festive holiday colostomy bag? :)

    What? You think it would be better in the PS at the end?

    Hahahahahahahaha. OK, normally I hate the Christmas letters people send, but I think having the phrase “colostomy bag” right at the beginning makes it the best Christmas letter ever.

    At what age do parents lose the ability to filter their words? I’m guessing my parents lost that ability sometime in their mid 70s. They think they can share anything with anyone and they were always the ones full of decorum. It cracks me up when my mom tells me about some of the stuff she shares with her bridge friends!
