Runs in the Family

So I posted this weekend about how my brother and I are more similar than I'd like to think... well apparently so are my mother and I, who makes new friends on the internet.

I got this text message from her this afternoon:

Mom: "Look what I learned today from my new online Connecticut friend!" (followed by lots of symbols - phones, dogs, trees, shamrocks, footballs, etc.)

Me: "WHO is your online Connecticut friend?!"

Mom: "Random player on Words with Friends. Always plays me at 4 and 5 in the morning when I'm up with the dog. So finally I decided to chat her and ask where she was. She's in Connecticut working the 3rd shift and bored at work." 

Me: "Ha that's funny"

Mom: "I know. We had quite a conversation this morning. I'm not sure we could be more opposite. I visualize her being young with tattoos anywhere."

Me: "HA!"

Mom: "Sometimes Mommy makes friends outside of the box. Did you notice there is a rainbow in the symbols? God knows you need that with your friends!"

Cracking up.
