There was one spring when someone was coming around our yard and knocking over the bird feeders. My mother stopped buying new ones and started taping/gluing them back together. So one morning I’m sitting at the table with my mom having breakfast when she looks out at the feeder, then stands up, and rips the slider door open, storms out onto the deck, and starts screaming, “HEY, GET OFF MY FEEDER!” At this point, I peek around the corner and sure enough, there is the bear coming down off its back 2 legs looking very confused as to why it’s getting yelled at. The bear walks off into the woods and she comes back inside as if nothing happened. My dad and I just look at each other and start laughing. My mother, one of the tamest and level-headed people I know, just scared off a BEAR! © toworkortoreddit / Reddit
My mom once came quietly into my room early one morning, I was maybe 14 years old. Suddenly, “Sarah! Quickly! There’s a UFO in the backyard!” as she’s shouting at me, she’s run straight into my brother’s room and grabbed his window shade to pull it up to show me the UFO, as he had a perfect view of the backyard. Mind you, waking up in such a way I was in a stupor, so excited, bewildered, I couldn’t believe this was happening! I don’t even think my feet ever hit the floor to get to my brother’s room. What was I about to see? I pictured this large silver disc spinning and hovering in front of the swing set. Then! Thhwwwaap! The sound of the shade being snapped up — I didn’t see anything right away — maybe it’s already gone? My mom just stared at me with a smile only a crazy person could wear — “April Fools!!!” She laughed and laughed. © Sarah Reyes / Quora
My mom is too active in every aspect. She, being bored at home, joined a vocal music course at a college near to our home 2 years back. She used to be so sincere at the start, like practicing vocals daily, reading the theory, etc. I was totally shocked to see her that dedicated and even used to tease her a bit. Recently, on her last day, she attended her third-year vocal examination, but she didn’t perform well, and consequently, she received a scolding from her teacher. She got frustrated and decided to not prepare for the written exam. She called me after the exam and said she did very well. I was totally confused because I know that she didn’t study at all. Later on, she said, “I didn’t study but my phone did.” On the day of the exam, she took snapshots of a few important notes. She bravely hid her phone in her purse and filled in the exam with the help of the pictures she had taken. © Srija Asritha M / Quora
Oh, my mom is a Super Troll. Back when I used to be a little fat, it would bug her to no end that I wouldn’t work out, so she adopted a new method: Trolling me in front of a room full of guests, relatives, and friends. She would wait until the room was quiet for a bit, and then suddenly point at my belly and loudly say with an air of mock pride, and a dramatic voice to boot, “Only 2 more months till I get my grandchild.” Around the fourth time she did that, I couldn’t take the embarrassment anymore, so to her utter delight I hit the gym and lost the fat, happily depriving her of her “grandchild.” © Khalid Bajwa / Quora
