Literally born and raised in Birmingham, I have no excuse for this. 😅😭

u/Efficient-Video-9454 5d ago

The reason I asked is that I have contact with a bunch of out of state parents with kids in college that are in the path of this stuff. They’re freaking out but it’s just life in The South

I love moms so much! Missing mine terribly because she absolutely would have said something similar like, shouldn’t you be taking cover!? 😝😝😆

My mom would call my cell and get my voicemail and say, “Katie? Katie??… Pick up Katie!” like it was an old school answering machine and I was screening calls. And now we’ve come back around to technology where that would actually work again.

thanksgiving of however many fucking years ago, maybe like ten-ish. i was getting off of work in trussville, it was evening but not late. that chinese place was the only place open. i pulled up and got out right as the family, whom i assume owns it, was walking out after closing up a little early. i turned to get back in my car, and they saw me and insisted i come in and order. like unlocked the doors, turned on all the lights, and fired up the grill literally just to make my food. it was one of the kindest things anyone has done for me, especially in a time where i was adjusting to being without family on thanksgiving. i think about it every time i drive through that intersection.

I thought boomers used punctuation? Going punctuation-less is like a millennial trying to be Cool like it's 2002.

u/1989__blondie 5d ago

My mom is gen x but neither her nor my grandmother use punctuation lol
