The Queen Mum

Today is my mother's birthday. She's a nut. Just look at her:


This is her Miss Marple look.


Below is a picture of her having her very-first-ever take-out Chinese meal. This was about a year ago. Doesn't she look excited? And that's one of my b(r)others. He looks pretty excited, too.


Look here--isn't she fetching in her do-rag? She's always been on the cutting edge of fashion.


This is her right after she got a strike in bowling. She is one mean bowler. I think last time we went she broke 50. Way to go, mum!



Good Lord, she raised this brood, so it's a wonder she's sane at all.

She's also a woman of many moods. The important thing to know is not to piss her off when she's in this one. The guy on the left did, and look what happened to him.



I think my mother is one of the most genteel, intelligent, diplomatic, witty, and nutty people that I've ever known. I wish her the happiest of birthdays!*

*Please note that she would just kill me in her own sugar-coated way if she knew I put these pictures on the web. So shhhh...mum's the word!

Aw, what a sweet tribute to your mum. She seems like a simply splendid human being, balanced by a bit of a dark side. Which is the way it should be. Now, what I want to know is, which broodish youngun are you?
