Demetris classic! Back when people had house phones and answering machines my mom moved and didn't understand why her answering machine wasn't working. So she asked me to check it. I followed the cord on the answering machine back to the answering machine; problem solved.

Zip-a-Dee-Doo Disney so what is your mom's quote lol

[@Originella]

My mom forgets titles, too. She thought "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" was called "Everybody's Happy in Chicago"...

[@packt.crushd1116]

"Phoenix Be Rainin And Shit." also your mom is dope if she watches sunny

[@dlhilliardful]

Originella My former mother in law told us she wanted to see the movie "Ready to Breathe". She was talking about "Waiting to Exhale".

[@Originella]

HA!! Actually, I have two brothers who watch it, but she's seen the clips and stuff that my younger brother subjects her to haha.

[@BrooklynBrimstone]

My Mom gets titles wrong all the time too. Recently she was talking about how she really wanted to watch "The Amazing Dance" (she somehow combined two reality show titles into one - "So You Think You Can Dance" & "The Amazing Race")

[@Originella]

Moms are awesome but it's so fun to laugh at the absurdities they inadvertently come up with...

[@kcmounsey]

My mom went to Scotland, in describing the trip she told me, “It seems like you’re going to find warthogs around every corner.” I replied, “You mean Hogwarts??”

3 yr old comment but Mother's Day this weekend. My mom did not want me to bleed on the carpet. She wasn't joking. That 70s shag must've been expensive.

[@Kate-gq3xx]

When my mom sings songs, she just says whatever comes to her first. Like the song that says "Now I'm feeling so fly like a G-6" , my mom says "Now I'm feeling so fly like a cheese stick"

[@Heather_Nelson]

Kate Hey my three-year-old thinks cheese sticks are pretty fly!

[@susie1330]

Kate 😂😂

[@a.sweetpeac.2281]

My dad does this. It's hilarious. Except when it's serious.

[@satchelyork]

My mom thought the lyrics to Thats Not My Name by the Ting Tings was, "They call me bitch, they call me hoe. That's not my name."

[@janini1232]

I do the same thing. 😂 I am not a native english speaker so it happens often that i dont understand what they say before looking up the lyrics. I just say similar sounding things that arent even necessarily real english words

OTAH makes me think of CLAH (Cackle Like A Hen). Does anyone else remember that?

[@beckarkottke]

Samantha Pellegrini yes!! Also a lot of moms still think LOL is 'lots of love' so there was a tweet along the same lines that was like 'grandma died. Lol' 😂 I think jimmy does a version of this around Mother's Day every year
