“It needs to be said that sometimes my mom forgets important details when she talks. Like the time she told us she was considering leather (couches, it turns out), or when I was little and she said, "Here's a napkin to put your balls in" (the Atomic Fireballs that I was eating, she meant).” NeedsLittlesSaidImportantSometimesTurnsForgetMomEatingBallsDetailsMy MomConsideringCouchesLeatherNapkins Book:Openly Straight Source: Openly Straight
“My mom missed meals on several occasions because there was only enough food to feed all of us. My mom didn't have a bed until I was 15 years old. She slept on a couch... I remember laying with her, like I used to sleep with my mom until I was like 12. I was a big baby; I'm a momma's boy. But my mom is my best friend, and never let me down, ever.” YearsEnoughBigsRememberUsedSleepBoysBabyMomBedLet MeMy MomOccasionsMealsMy Best FriendCouchesMommaLet Me Down Author:Kid Cudi
“We really didn't have the option of being couch potatoes when I was growing up. There were only three television channels and the only kid's programming was on Saturday morning. We always played outside until we could hear Mom calling us (not by cell phone but with her hands cupped around her mouth) that it was dinner time.” HandsKidsThreeMorningGrowing UpGrowingTelevisionMomCallingMouthsPhonesDinnerCellsProgrammingSaturdayPotatoesCouchesCell PhoneSaturday MorningDinner Time Author:Jeff Foxworthy

“My dad also survived five divorces, and the women he married cleaned his ass out every time. I used to think my dad got divorced because he wanted new furniture. At one point in my life, all we had left was a wooden box, a 12 black-and-white TV, and a four-man rubber raft for a couch. And yet, I was the coolest kid in third grade. Mom, can we have a sleepover in Christopher Titus' house? They have a raft in the living room! We can row to breakfast in the morning.
