Crunch Christmas getting you down? Looking for an inexpensive
gift for the woman who gave you life and used to wipe
your bum? Have no fear - we, at UJ, have the perfect
present and it won't cost you a penny: put your mum
on Facebook.

No, seriously.
I set Bernice up while on family vacation to Hawaii
(mostly as an eff you to my dad, who is now furiously
trying to figure out how to get himself on Facebook).
Not only does it give her the easiest way to stalk me
(all mothers are stalkers, obsessed with their children),
it also makes her feel like part of the action. |
|
Bernice,
previously computer illiterate, has quickly learned
how to comment on photos, write on people's walls,
and unfortunately, change her status from "open
relationship" (he he) to the much more truthful,
married. She's also made friend with Urban Junkies
and will likely write something damning on it
today in retaliation for this article.
Merry Christmas, mummy.
