I had, let’s see… I think the technical jargon is “A BOMB” dropped on me this weekend.
The lovely woman that I call “Mother” stumbled- entirely innocently- onto this little corner of the interwebs.
The best part? She was worried when she found it… yeah, she was worried, about ME being upset, that I would feel like my privacy had been violated.
Now that’s a great Mom.
But you all know that- I’ve told you before how amazing the ‘rents are, and how lucky I am.
I’ve watched a few of you (Desiree, shine) go through the mess of the parents finding you out. How could it not make me think about what I would do in the same situation?
And I’ve always said I would stand by this place. I’m not ashamed of anything on these pages. The good, the bad, the sexy, and the ugly… it’s all true, and it all made me the lovable crackpot you see here today. It’s the story that brought the people I love into my life.
Besides, I started out reading the fascinating blogs of a couple “working” or otherwise sex-i-fied women… And their parents supported them. (Though I bet that discovery was a lot more painful than my own…)
I am proud of what I’ve done here. Honestly, I would have preferred to share it from the start. But asking my mother to keep a secret from my dad never seemed fair, and there are some things a father should never know about his little girl.
So what did Mamakins say? What was her reaction when I called her?
“I’m glad you’re writing.”
Best. Mom. EVER.
So, everybody say hello to the woman (partially) responsible for the TMI Thursday-ing (Mom, don’t click that) crazy pants LiLu you know and hopefully love. She is going to be stopping in from time to time, WHEN I TELL HER SHE CAN. Because she is awesome, and for some reason, she wants to see the mess her baby girl has created on this little slice of the internets.
(Besides, now when Maxie and I finally make it onto Stephen Colbert, it won’t be a shock when you see me dancing to Charlene on national television. That was gonna be your Christmas present!)
So wave with me, y’all;

Hi LiLu’s Mom! You’ve done a great job!
I’ve told my friends and family about my blog, but they never read it. Should I be offended?
I bet they do, they just don’t tell you

Hey momma dukes!
My mom reads and comments and I enjoy it! My friends dont seem to have any interest in blogging or reading it. Which is great b/c I can talk smack on their asses.
I talk smack on my friends even though they read. They love it.

HEY MA!
Always cool when mom reads the blog. Sorta ‘validation’. I know I was surprised and happy when I found out my parents (mostly my dad, go figure) reads mine.
Validation, interesting… that’s one way to look at it!

Hey Mama LiLu!
Oh man…I’m so envious. My mom never read my site but my dad did…and he wasn’t too happy about it…not about me writing nor about the stuff that I wrote…
Your mama did a great job and I’m glad she’s proud of ya
Me too. Thanks, love!

We do… I am a lucky girl.

Hi Lilu’s Mom and welcome to blogland.
Luckily Mama does not have or want a computer which is a good thing because I write about her shenanigans all the time.
Mom shenanigans are the best shenanigans.

Hi LiLu’s mom! My mom reads my blog, as well. She also forwarded it to my entire extended family, and I still get e-mails from my uncles saying, “I need to know how to get one of those things.” When I first started, she also forwarded me all the old e-mails I had written her, with comments like, “I think this would be funny on your website!’
Haha! I wouldn’t be surprised if the same happens to me…
.-= Brooke´s last blog ..August 4, 2009 =-.
Hello MOM!
This is so funny. I just posted the other day on our blog (www.whenlifegivesyoulimes.com) my mother being on Facebook and how I have to hear about my own friend’s status from my Mother. I am not sure if it is a good or bad thing having retired women (and men) on the internet highway…thank god there are passing lanes.
“Thank god there are passing lanes” – HILARIOUS.

HI Li’s mom!!!
My mom used to read my old blog and loved it and would no doubt read the current one if she knew it existed. I don’t really have anything on there that I’d feel bad about her reading or anything but I don’t know… I’m skittish about it.
She’s a cool lady though, like your mom!
I did some illustrations of some bloggers for a future entry, recently that I haven’t used yet. I did one of you. You look tres coquettish and hawt, honey!
Just warning you.
Warn me?! I am so excited!!! Boo yah!
.-= Vegetable Assassin´s last blog ..Evil Google Overlords =-.
Hi LiLu’s Mom!!
That’s fantastic that she is so supportive. And its even better that you are not ashamed of it.
My mom is not internet savy, thank goodness, she would probably be very upset since I vent about her alot.
And most of my friends don’t read my blog either. One of them actually makes fun of me for blogging
whatevs!
Ha! I guess I’m lucky that all my friends are as dorky as me…

Hi LiLu’s ma!
*waves*
HI Mom! Yeah, stay away from Thursdays, especially your daughter’s friends pages on Thursday’s. Especially this Thursday. Thursday.
Careful, you will pique her curiosity… she is the WORST snooper at Christmas.
.-= justjp´s last blog ..Donkey Kong doesn’t even know the scope of how on it is. =-.
That’s probably the best reaction you can ask for. I’ve let my mom read from the start, but warned her when it got to TMI Thursdays. She knows she shouldn’t read then, and if she does, she’s not allowed to mention that she knows.
So far, so good.
I hope I can say the same in a few months’ time.

.-= ela´s last blog ..Weighty Matters =-.
God, everyone’s parents read my blog, mine, my husbands, my friends’, but I keep it clean… for the most part. Sso I don’t have too much to worry about. I’m glad it all turned out for the best, as things tend to do.

I love the fact that you’re mom recognizes how important your blog is to you and feels like she’s invading your privacy.
It’s nice to know that she’s supportive of your writing – kudos to your mom!
She is a good egg, that one. I’ll keep her.
.-= littlemsblogger´s last blog ..The Lost Art of….. =-.
Yay! I’m so glad you worked it out. Your mom sounds fantastic. AND supportive. Give her extra hugs.
My mom actually said (about the whole blog thing), “I hope this doesn’t hurt your feelings, but I don’t have time to read your blog.” Um…no. It does not hurt my feelings one little bit!
My step-dad probably still tells her stuff, though. I don’t know how to get him out of my internets. Ugh.
A pox on your step-father. A POX!!!
.-= shine´s last blog ..My very first award. And I got it twice! =-.
Awww. My mom reads my blog from time to time and she loves that I use it as an outlet but she thinks that maybe I am a bit too honest and candid. She should know better, there’s no such thing.
But. My dad. I’m not sure I’d be okay with him reading it. He knows about it but steers clear.
It’s nice to know there are good parents like ours who respect our privacy.

Hi LiLu’s Mom!

Hi to LiLu’s Mom…
My own mother has dial-up (and complains that the $9.95 per month for that is too darn expensive), she is allegedly on Facebook but cannot figure out how to work with Facebook and I think she’d probably be unsurprised but quite offended at most of what is on my slice of the internet. (Of course, my mom is in her 70′s…) And I believe my father would probably send evangelists to my house to pray for me if he ever found my blog (thankfully, he’s glued to Ebay).
“Unsurprised but quite offended”… HILARIOUS.
.-= MsDarkstar´s last blog ..Apparently, I shake kitties from cat trees…. =-.
Hi Lilu’s mom! ** wave **
I hope you enjoy reading her blog as much as I do.
Aw. Thanks, honey bun!
Sounds like one gracious mama! At least now you have any fear of discovery out of the way!
So very, very true.
.-= Elizabeth´s last blog ..A drum roll, please? =-.
Trust me as a mom, we know much more than you think.
Oh, I know. But “knowing” it and seeing it in writing are two different things… thanks, love!
That is a great reaction!!
I started my blog FOR my friends and family since they are spread all over the world. BUT, THEN, In the past month or so, I really wish I DID Not give the blog link to my in-laws because I want to go in another direction -Be the real me- not the censored me. I could only talk about new house and new puppy for so long! Ah.
You could always start a new, secret one…
My parents found the URL to my blog a couple months back, but said they had no interest in reading it. I didn’t know whether to be hurt or relieved.
Hmm. Maybe both…?

Hi LiLu’s Mum (I’m English, hence the ‘u’).
You should be very proud that your daughter is…. well, quite frankly, FAMOUS on the internet. Everyone loves her, because she is ace. Well done!

Ha, well potentially something horrible DID happen… but it seems to be okay. Thanks so much for your concern, love!

I live in fear the the BF or family will find my blog. I know that I don’t put anything bad about any of them on my blog so I’m not too worried…but still…

.-= RCaitlin´s last blog ..Goodbye City Life =-.
I’m afraid my mom would read my blog (or Facebook entries) and not think it was funny. Or that I’m retarded. Well, recently it has been pretty lame and I have been phoning it in with all the pics of Adriana Lima on my blog, but there are some good jokes in there if you really read it. I think I am more afraid of my ex-girlfriends reading my blog.
But it would make for SUCH good fodder…

.-= Guarina´s last blog ..I hate so much… =-.
Hey Lilu’s Mom – Thanks for raising such a lovely and delightful daughter!
I showed my blog to my mother about a month ago. I think she was amazed that I could make such a thing. And now she says she just peeks at it every once in a while because she doesn’t want to invade my privacy, which is completely the opposite of how she was when I was growing up.
Our mothers sound very similar… read: Wonderful. Thanks so much!!!
.-= Cyndy´s last blog ..Paddle Boats =-.
I think I have pictures of me and friends at that same table at Top.
It’s good that your mom is cool with things. My mom got mad at one thing I wrote when I lived in Europe in 2006. I’m waiting for her to figure out this new thing called Facebook to realize I said no when she asked to be my friend…. and then get mad at me.
Eh, they’ve got to understand the boundaries, you know?
Wish I was sitting at that table right now…
hi mom! you raised i hell of a good egg with miss lilu here. you should be proud : )

Aw, thanks love muffin. You are the bestest. xoxo
.-= alexa – cleveland’s a plum´s last blog ..my 20sb featured blogger interview, yay! =-.
My mother doesn’t totally understand the purpose behind blogs- my best friend has one (though doesn’t know about mine yet!) and my mother occasionally reads that one and always says things like “why would anyone want to do this?” So, I feel no need to tell her about mine and I don’t think she will find it anytime soon. I’m curious though, how did your mother find yours?
I sent her a recipe of Lemmy’s once, and she very innocently clicked on my link. What ya gonna do?
.-= Lexi´s last blog ..hello, oh dreamy dress =-.
That’s great that she supports you! My mom does as well but as many times as I’ve given her the link she actual doesn’t read my blog. “Too Busy” or some such nonsense. Oh Well.
Have a great day!
Too busy! Well, at least you’re free to write whatever, right?

me=totally jealous!
i’ve thought long and hard about having another blog where i could just write whatever the hell i want
my mother is the typical preacher’s wife….
she is really good at being herself
but she annoys me
because she reads my blog
and she feels the need to comment and critique everything i write
seriously….
i wish 1. she didn’t read it, 2. she didn’t care 3. i could say whatever the hell i wanted to say, just cause i want to say it
so i’m totally jealous that your mom is glad you are writing!
Aw, I’m sorry hon. Believe me, I know how lucky I am!

Not that I out a ton of effort into hiding my blog from my mom, but it was still a bit of surprise when I got a “very concerned email” from her that started with, “is there anything you want to talk about? some of your blog posts have been disturbing.” One reassuring conversation from me later, and she hasn’t mentioned it again.
Good mom.

Hi LiLu’s mom.
I don’t hide from my parents that I blog. My mother knows next to nothing about the internet, and my dad sees my blog posts on Facebook, but I don’t think he cares to read them. I would like it if he did. He’s one of my best friends.
Awww. You should sign him up so they’re sent to his email!
.-= Jaime´s last blog ..*grunt* =-.
Thanks for all the waves, greetings and cool comments to Lilu and me. As the other parents know, we usually know more, and can actually handle more, than our kids give us credit for. So, while I don’t need to know everything Lilu might choose to share here, not much comes as a huge surprise. And, it is very cool to see her connect to the world in her uniquely funny, and smartly observant way. But if I could just figure out how to tactfully display her latest accomplishment on our fridge…
I love you, mama. Thanks for being you.

Aw! That’s awesome!
My mom doesn’t visit my site. When I tell her about something she should check out because she might find it interesting, she just makes me tell her on the phone…oh well….
.-= Stephanie´s last blog ..Gahcongestionartand stuff =-.
Yay for moms! My mom reads my blog…but then again, I have yet to do a TMI Thursday. I will have to block her IP address when that happens.
.-= Gabby´s last blog ..my girl wants to party all the time party all the time party all the timeeee =-.
My mum is supportive of my writing, but not my blogging. In fact, I’m not sure she even realises I still do it. If she did read it, I really don’t think she’d approve.
You’re really lucky. But obviously you already know that!

Hi LiLu the first.
My mom got mad at me because I write “fuck” too much, and she said that her friends didn’t appreciate all my swears. She said that they all concurred that “swearing is an indicator of a low IQ.” Even though I have a creative writing degree and my fiction prof once told me that I have the most articulate trucker mouth he’s ever heard OR read. I am like an artist painting a beautiful fucking mural of obscenity, and my mom is the censor that’s preventing me from sharing my gift with the world.
I don’t think my mom would approve of your blog either. Also, she hates the word vagina.

You’re handling this all very well. Having a cool mom helps. I love my mom but sometimes I’d be worried about what she’d think…and that she’d worry about me. We’re worriers.

Hi LiLu’s mom! You must be a fantastic mother!
.-= Lisa´s last blog ..Gas emergency. Who knew we lived life on the edge? =-.
How neat to have a cool mom… I had to wait until both parents were dead to start a blog.. not that they ever owned a computer! Now I have two sons saying “You can’t say that dad!”. Children are the result of sex, gone horribly wrong…
Hi, Mom!
Your daughter is awesome, hilarious, and awesomely hilarious!
.-= Zan´s last blog ..Givin’ Props…. =-.
What an awesome mom you have there! I don’t think my mom can get onto the Internet without help, so I probably won’t ever have to deal with this. Still, if she ever does I hope she reacts exactly like yours.

New reader here<—–
I told my mom the day I started a blog and I subscribed her via email. She loves reading everything and getting an update on my life. She also follows me on twitter!
A few of my extended relatives just found my blog via facebook so we'll see how I deal with that…

HI LILU’S MOM!
I so had the same awkward turtle moment when both of my parents, and then subsequently my aunts & uncles all requested me as a friend on Facebook…
My first thought after reading this was that your mom was like Regina George’s from Mean Girls…I’m a cooooool mom! haha
.-= Jennifer – Somewhere In Between´s last blog ..Time Of My Life =-.
hooray for great moms! the world needs more of them. particularly certain people… like, oh, i dunno… Gary Coleman, for instance. it seems like he definitely could’ve used a better mom.
.-= f.B´s last blog ..never better than late =-.
hey mama LILU!
i am so grateful to your for creating this super creature tht is LILU! you should be proud of how she affects so many of our lives all over the world everyday aka am jealous of Maxie and wish she were marrying me:)
.-= miss rambles´s last blog ..hello to healthier better me =-.
Hi Mom! Thanks for being so supportive of LiLu! We love her!!!!!
.-= Jules´s last blog ..Out of Tune Tuesday – Modest Mouse – Crappy Edition =-.
HI MOM! You’re great!
I’m pretty sure my mom would say something like, “What could you possibly have to write on your blog? You’re boring!” before she took a call on her iPhone and then ran off to karaoke with her other mom friends who also have better social lives than me.
your mom sort of rocks. love her response. hi lilu’s mom!
.-= katelin´s last blog ..Just some Hollywood. =-.
Dear LiLu’s Mom,
Your loin fruit (otherwise known as LiLu) has enriched my life in so many ways. I thank you for birthing and raising and letting loose her hilarity all over the Internet.
With Eternal Gratitude,
Jill, The Pilgrim
Your mother is incredibly cool.
LiLu’s mom must be super cool.
Is this the same mom that told you that you weren’t born, you were hatched? Lol just kidding!
Pfft, this is BETTER than the Today Show.

Dear Lilu’s mama,
Thank you for the gift of Lilu. A little filthy but awesome nonetheless!
: )
.-= PorkStar´s last blog ..Crabiness, missing peeps a whole lot of other stupid crap. =-.
Aww, you really do have the best mom ever!! Okay, maybe second best… my momma is pretty cool too.
That’s amazing that she was so supportive. I heart her already.

Wow. My mom just freaked out. And out. And out.
.-= J´s last blog ..King Sized Things =-.
I am not sure what my moms reaction would be. Your mom is awesomely cool.
.-= mandy´s last blog ..Sometimes I… =-.
aww that’s cool! I totally had a flash thought moment to the “HI MOM!” celebrities always say while on TV and you can’t hear them. Mostly at sporting events
.-= Aimee´s last blog ..Important Women’s Health Issue: =-.
That is very cool. Having to sort of “humanize” our parents in our twenties and then grow into that adult relationship with them can be really tough for some people– it’s really an awesome thing when they continue to love you, all of you, throughout that.
.-= justrun´s last blog ..Wherein I travel with children, voluntarily =-.
hi mommmmm!
waving and smiling!
hope you enjoy your daughter’s fabulous
words.
.-= amanda´s last blog ..oh, and for your information. . . =-.
You’re mom’s going to love it in here!
I’m happy for you both.
.-= mrs4444´s last blog ..New Beginnings =-.
dear mrs. lilu,
blogging is kind of like one big never-ending cyber-slumber party. we’re all playing extreme truth or dare while we laugh and cry together but when asked what we’re doing, the answer is always ‘nothing’. eavesdrop a little, but turn away with a knowing grin that we’re all going to be alright. especially lilu. your daughter rocks. she makes a lot of people’s days much brighter. she’s genuine and brilliant. you’ve done raised her right. we love her and we love you for sharing with us your baby girl. now wipe your tears and make her buy you something pretty for being the best mom ever! seriously – take advantage of this opportunity.
.-= clairemontgomerymd´s last blog ..teach me to read =-.
Awwwww. Supportive moms are the best! HIEE!
.-= Lollygagger´s last blog ..it’s that kind of night. =-.
hi lilu’s mom!
sounds like you two have a great relationship. im sure she’s going to dig what you got going on here!
(how did she stumble across this place so innocently??)
My parents refuse to read my blog…well, I don’t know if my dad knows about it, but my mom does and she just doesn’t care (just like most of my IRL friends…*cries*)
HI LILU’S MOM!!
.-= Britt´s last blog ..You Came to California for the Family, but I Came for the Fun! =-.
Hello momma Lilu
I’ll work on keeping the fucks, bitches, and rat bastards to a minimum when commenting.
Fuck it. I probably won’t.
Sorry momma.
Hi LiLu’s MOM!!!
.-= sleepyjane´s last blog ..It comes and goes and sometimes stays gone =-.
Awww. Mums rock.
My parents are cool. I censor my blog a bit because they have the URL but they’re supportive enough
Also, they are great on facebook because I don’t have to censor myself just because they can read my updates.
I think your mum sounds awesome – must be how you turned out so loveable!
.-= Kez´s last blog ..I challenge you to a duel! If only I knew how… =-.
From one Mom to another: You did a great job on this one Mom.
.-= Elaine Haley´s last blog ..Dressing in the Dark =-.
Awwwww Hi Momma LiLu!
How cute. This brought a little “no i’m not crying I’m just cutting onions” tear to my eye.
.-= Kristen´s last blog .. =-.
It’s a good thing your Mom can share this with you. My mom died quite a few years ago, two years before I started blogging. She is the person responsible for my sense of humor (so either blame or thank her) and I’m sure she would have loved it. My very straight-laced dad, not so much. I prefer to think he doesn’t know about it. So Hi Lilu’s mom. Enjoy!
.-= johnny virgil´s last blog ..No funny here. Nothing to see. Move along. =-.
big ups to moms
pretty amazing that she was so supportive!
She’s not a mom, she’s a SAINT.

Hi Lilu’s mom!! You are MY goal in life as I raise my daughter
I want to be her mom, her friend, and her step-stone/ladder/confidant/safety net as she goes on to be the best at whatever she chooses in life. I want this with my son too, definitely, but there’s a difference in gender relationships… and anyone who says otherwise, isn’t a real parent!
.-= connie´s last blog ..Too bored to blog =-.
you’re a lucky girl to have such a supportive mum. good for her and good for you.
.-= Down and Out Chic´s last blog ..Ruche dress two ways and a winner =-.

Hi Mama LiLu’s Mama.
LiLu, I have that same sweater. Only you fill yours out way better. I feel this gives me leave to unleash unrestrained hate upon you. But a consolation to me…gravity will be on my side a couple of decades from now.
.-= TishTash´s last blog ..They Put the "Gin" in "Fucking Pretentious" But All Out of Order and Shit =-.
Hi mama Lilu,
you have a great daughter. She makes me laugh on a day to day basis.
How nice that you wear matching colored clothes!
.-= caroline´s last blog ..funny thing! =-.
Awwww! That is awesome. I don’t think I want my Mom reading my blog. Although, that would be a little like us talking to each other so that would be weird. Since we don’t talk. Anymore. Grrr.
.-= Cass´s last blog ..A Beautiful B&W Wordless Wednesday and Fishing for Good Vibes *grin* =-.
That is great.. my mom already knows but I refuse to let my dad see it.
.-= Lil’ Woman´s last blog ..His Other Girlfriend… =-.
What an amazing Mom you have! I try to keep my blog really PG just because I fear family members judgments. Not that they don’t already know I’m a little crazy and probably drink a little too much sometimes, but they’ve heard the “f” word from me too many times in life already, so I spare them from having to read all about it, heh. I’m so happy that you don’t censor you awesome self so that we may all live vicariously through you!
.-= The Cottage Cheese´s last blog ..Seahorse Key =-.
Hiiiiii LiLu’s mom!!!
You clearly have a great parent, which is awesome. My parents are fab, too, and they regularly read my blog – but mine is quite devoid of the downright dirty – and tell me all about what they thought.
.-= MinD´s last blog ..Fighting the addiction. =-.
AWWWWW!!!!!! I got butterflies in my belly. I love that picture of you two. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!! Reminds me of me and my daughter.

Hi LiLu’s MOM!
.-= meleah rebeccah´s last blog ..One Man’s Trash, Is Another Man’s Treasure [Or, Another Man's Responsibility To Clean Up!] =-.
ah. my mom reads my blog. semi-faithfully. which means (because she has a touch of teh crayzee) i can’t bitch about her. which, really? would make my blog MUCH funnier than it is now. and wouldn’t it be all poignant and shit when she’s gone (hopefully not for MANY years, because i do love the woman even with all the crazy shit she puts me through) if i was all “all that shit means nothing now because she is gone and i miss her and waaaaaah, i want my mommy?”
totally poignant. and shit.
also, i think i said the word “shit” more times in that comment than in any other comment. ever. you’re welcome.
also, hi lilu’s momma. i hope nothing here disturbs you too deeply. : )
.-= raeleighjo/bsg´s last blog ..things i love more than or as much as shoes. that’s a lot of love, people. =-.
Same thing, I mention my blog to my friends but they hardly seem interested in reading it. My mom too. She’s also technically inept, however she is on Facebook.
My GRANDFATHER is on Facebook. Beat THAT.
