Mom wishes you a happy Halloween

"So they had someone named Julie from that huge church call me."

"Oh?"

"Yeah.  I told Julie what I thought all right!  I told her that I never felt so unwelcomed in a church before.  That they needed to be less worried about my walker staying behind a pole and more worried that those fancy lights they use during the singing are going to give someone a seizure, and if they're so worried about the safety of their parishioners that they should tell everybody to quit whacking people in the head that remain seated during the singing.  And I told her that having six different varieties of coffees available in the lobby is really show-offy.  And that their bulletins are a weird shape that won't fit in a regular sized Bible, not that it would probably matter to her since I'm sure she's never seen a real Bible before.  And that their parking lot doesn't take into consideration that there might be more than one person at a time that needed to use their walk-up ramp thingie, not that I really expect them to care about that since all they seem to worry about is if the Twilight crowd is constantly amused.  And she asked me about the welcome packet they sent me.  I told her I mailed it to my niece so she could see just how stupid their church is.  Then I slammed down the phone."

"Uh huh.  You didn't say anything of that."

"No.  But I thought it!"

Your mom is precious!
Go, Betty! See you in hellllllllllooooooween.
I especially like that you can see her "Bloom Where You Are Planted" plaque.
ahahaha! oh i love your mother.

and she looks very frightening in those horns.

i was really impressed and amazed and shocked that she said all that. what is it like to have a mom who is so universally loved?
What a character!
you're mom is the best.
Trust me, she didn't say anything of the kind to Julie. I'm sure it was "it was a nice service, thank you for calling."
If you are planted in hell, would you bloom faster or wilt?
I give your mom lots of credit for thinking it and saying it to you even if she didn't say it to Julie!

As far as ePriddy's question: there are those seeds that won't germinate until AFTER the forest fire...
If you look closely, you can see Deven's reflection snapping the picture, in the horns.
I didn't notice the plaque - thanks for pointing it out!

you know, I was sure she really said all this. That's how much faith I have in your mom. Maybe she should run for God. she might get elected.
ooh, that's freaky, Cindy! (or should that be...That's sinny, Freaky?)

I have some vacation pix that show part of me eerily reflected in some holy relics. So I guess I'm God and Deven's, well, the devil, of course.
Not if I see you there first! Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween Mom & Tequilaanddonuts!
Your mom rulz. Totally. Satan doesn't stand a chance.
oh, such a huge part of me wishes she HAD really said it. but how funny she is, and you are both so lucky to have each other.
Ah, I love your mom. Wish her a happy Halloween for me.
I kind of wish that your mom would have said all that. Then again, I wouldn't have had the guts either.
So...is she going to wear the horns to church? And how do you blow up a pot pie?
The horns become her. But I really doubt we'll see her in Hell ;)
I love how her horns are color coordinated with her shirt!
I've put my name on the list to live in the same neighborhood as your mom in hell... it would appear that the waiting list is really long... and I recognized EVERY name on the list....
Too funny!! I love her verbal restraint, my mother has and inactive pause button so...she would have said it, and meant it.
What??!! She didn't tell them "I've got pasties and my daughter has a tube top, and we're not afraid to show you either one!"?

Happy Halloween back at her. I hope her rain hats keep those horns dry. =o)
HAPPPPPPYYYYY HALLLOOOOOWEEEEN!!!

:)
Dang. I've been to that mall. I mean, church. (Really...I hate the crappy songs and the PowerPoint. Even if I liked church, these megachurches would drive me crazy. I still hear people say about their megachurches, "It's not like any church you've ever been to!" Sigh. Not only is it like every church, it's also like every board meeting.)
I'd sit next to her in church any day.
When I grow up I wanna be just like Deven's mom............
Your mom is scary......in a if I was her kid and she looked at me in the way she is looking at the camera I would shrink to nothing and do what ever she wanted done.... Doe she need anything.......Great post!
As my best friend says, "We need to co-ordinate our sinning so that when we DO finally go to hell, we end up in the same circle."

God, I love your mom.
Cindy Ross is right...I can see you in the horns.

Happy Halloween you two.

Here I thought I was being all smarty pants-like, by figuring out what the sign behind Mom said. Then I read the comments. All that hard work and no... I was NOT treading on your intellectual property.

Take her to the Crystal Palace. I'd love to see her lock horns with them.
Sequinned horns?

Definitely your mom.

*Scrolls down fast so Betty can't see him through the monitor*
Now your Mom is a STAR...on the Front Page!!! Congrats. I want to meet her some days since we "almsot" live inthe same city.

I appreciate that she coordinated her horns to her shirt.
Thank her for me.
Awesome rant! Even if she didn't say it Julie. At least we got to hear it. :-)
Thanks! That brightened up my day. Go Mom!
She reminds me so much of my grandmother and, as I get older, she reminds me of myself! Rated.
{making my reservation in Hell}
Happy Halloween!
Mom doesn't just speak the truth Mom IS the Truth.
I love this! Thank You!
I've always heard there would be shopping and donuts in hell. If Mom is there too I'm totally ready for the trip!
I guess she wasn't able to fold their bulletin into a crane?
This sounds like a lot of conversations I have. People look at me and say, "You didn't really say that!" And I say, "No, but I thought it really loud in my head!"
Your Mother is adorable. She'd be fun to be in the church's yearly Halloween apple dunking contest. It's fun, and performed in a bath tub with a mandolin.
Last year was a Tuba.
Horns are great joys.
Past years the Mennonite bishop judged the First Halloween belching contest with Open Salon's new editor,
and sad to say:`
No one made E.P.
The congregation search committee could not find a word that does rhymes with:`
horny. horns?
wear cabbage?
cabbage horns?

Pinhead Cabbage Horns!
It's a private silly thought!
A White House chef, Sam?
tease:`
We grow a pointed heirloom.
The chef can't take any bribes.
Sam refused free cabbage horns.
Cabbage on a noggin looks like horns. The heirloom cabbage variety really does have a pointed head, and the cabbage can be glued to the head, and resemble two horns. Cabbage head for Halloween night?
It was a silly discussion at the White House farmer market. Pumpkin heads look better?

First, I thought those horns on your Mother's head were heirloom pinhead cabbages.
I best go a ::conks::
silly. But, the White House chef is likable. Pinhead pointed cabbage, glued to the W.H. chef:`
silly?
or,
goofy?
yea,
Ya Mother made me a- snicker!
Ya had to be there? Yikes chef!
Sam chef put 2- cabbage heads?
Yes.
on his head, and he is very dignified.
Ya Mom is fun as a White House cook!
Those 2- pointed cabbages on Sam's head ( a White House shaved head) looked like bull cabbage horns on her head. huh? Ah! huh?

apologies? I should never turn on the computer after a day @ DC's farmer market. I'll enter the annual Mennonite apple, and the community celebration of the Halloweens belch contest? Yes.
And, definitely,
I'll place two pointed heirloom cabbages on my head. Savoy cabbages are great!
Wrinkled, crinkled,
and really:`delicious.
Your Mother no needs?
No need to wear a yarmulke.
Tell her:`Happy Halloweens.
gads.
Your mom rocks Aunty's world.
Your mom rocks Aunty's world.

To wake up and reread awe:`
the popping-off comments,
Yesterday?
I agree with Aunt Marbel.
Aut Marbel can say 4- X's.
A 4-th time would be fine.
Ya say that one more time.
Say again? She's like Mom.
She'sd be as much fun as getting bumped from behind and Surprised by a furry horn bison. Bison run 35 mph and they can jump 6- feet high. I was told that. If Ya's were Surprised-bumped?
I think Ya's dear Mother's bump would make someone hop skyward high?
Moon!
Wish she'd said what she thought. Your Mom is great!
I love the way she thinks...
So glad to put a face to mom. NOW I understand. :)
I'd like to send this post to mega-churches everywhere. I love mom.
