things Momma says…

May 20, 2013 By Talya Tate Boerner 15 Comments

There are certain things I don’t expect to hear Momma say.

Ever.

The same words spoken from my son might not raise an eyebrow.

But from Momma, the world has shifted a bit on her axis.

Forever.

“Well I have just been so impressed with Usher,” gushed my seventy-five-year-old Momma over lunch.

Usher?

She knows about Usher?

Usher

    I have laughed out loud reading this. I thought to myself, Talya better not make me cry this early. (Have you heard of Ed Sharon?)

    Now, that’s funny! I remember when my 68 yr old mother said she liked Eminem after watching his movie 8 Mile. You could have knocked me over with a feather!

    (BTW, I still haven’t seen the movie and I still don’t care for Eminem! LOL)

    Had to read this again this morning, and I still laughed out loud. I listened to THAT GIRL. That Usher is cool.
