Have you ever read something where you just KNOW the writer talks with their hands, does the sound effects, and would bust out a little dance if it suited the story? That's Erica. She's a colorful storyteller whose sense of humor and fearless honesty make a big impact. Her rants might go for the emotional jugular, hit your funny bone, or shock you and your mama out of your fajas. Usually it's all three. Often chronicling her life in Florida, her stories are full of characters like "Bikini Rifle Lady", "Mariachi Neighbor," and "Barbara The NextDoor Evangelist." There's almost always a message in the madness, and that's what people connect with most. Also her deep and undying love for Tevin Campbell. You can find more of her work at www.EricaFazio.com

Dad jokes are having a moment right now - understandably, since lame dads are hilarious.We love talking about the kinds of "dad stuff" stereotypes - like freaking out if anyone touches the thermostat and wearing weirdly tall socks with some New Balance sneakers. One Reddit user pointed out that we're all knee-deep in dad stuff, but moms have just as many quirks! They wanted to know what some typical "mom things" people could think of. The responses were too much fun!

The initial question:

We always hear about "dad" things, what are some "mom" things?

The comments had people laughing, feeling nostalgic, and bonding over the sorts of mom things that seem to be pretty much universal.

Here are some of our favorite replies, edited for clarity when needed.

No Mom, We Don't Know Everyone On The Internet

shows my mom a video on the internet

"Who's that?"

The hell mom I don't know just watch the video.

Mom's A Magician

Mom: "Go find XYZ item".

Mom enters and item magically appears

Mom's Timeline

Mom 1 min ago: "Where are you??"

Mom 2 min ago: "Why aren't you picking up my calls?"

Mom 3 min ago: "You are normally home at 5:32pm on the dot, it is 5:33pm, are you home? Where are you?"

Then you call her back less than a minute after the last call/text and she doesn't answer.

Before You Go

Be sure to use the bathroom before you go anywhere. You never know when you're going to find the next one.

I live 2 minutes from work and still use the bathroom before I leave.

"Expert" Knowledge

Hearing a 'fact' from an 'expert' on the news once and believing it forever.

i.e. My mom still thinks I should be getting nine hours and fifteen minutes of sleep after hearing that figure on the Today Show over a decade ago.

Rage Vacuuming 

Vacuuming when they're angry so everyone knows they're angry and everyone is super uncomfortable and it's loud and scary and I just want to die.

Mom Strength

Giphy

Moms are freakishly strong when they need to be. I remember my wife running away from a pissed off skunk, one kid in each arm.

Good Ol' Brake Arm

While driving with you in the passenger seat they throw their arm across you if they have to hit the brakes.

By Any Other Name...

"Tom! Dave! Brad! YOU! Stop that!"

Jacket

Giphy

Temp might get down into the 70s. "Make sure you bring a jacket" - A jacket is what you wear when your mother is cold.

'Hunger Games'-Style Immigrant Reality Show Pitched To Homeland Security Sparks Outrage

According to a report in The Daily Mail, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is reportedly reviewing a pitch for a reality television show where immigrants would compete for a chance to fast-track their path to U.S. citizenship.

DHS is reportedly collaborating with writer and producer Rob Worsoff on a proposed reality television show titled The American, which risks turning a serious and often traumatic process into entertainment. The concept comes as the Trump administration continues to clamp down on asylum access and prepares to implement a sweeping deportation plan targeting millions of undocumented immigrants.

GOP Rep. Has To Be Woken Up During Roll Call After Pulling An All-Nighter—And Oops

Utah Republican Representative Blake Moore had social media aghast after video showed he had to be woken up by one of his GOP colleagues to vote during a House Ways and Means Committee meeting early Wednesday morning after pulling an all-nighter.

The House Ways and Means Committee worked through the night Tuesday as Republicans pushed forward key elements of President Donald Trump’s plan to extend tax cuts in ongoing budget negotiations. The marathon session extended into the early hours of Wednesday, and just before 5 a.m. ET, cameras caught Moore asleep in his chair as his turn to vote arrived.
