I LOVED this video! Already commented at Momversation, but basically your mommy was adorable. AND her comments about how she would sort of check on you via your blog during your postpartum was really touching. Moved me to tears, in fact. (Granted, ESPN's feature stories sometimes move me to tears...)
Please tell your mommy that we Dooce fans say hello and thanks!

Wow, the resemblance of each mother to her respective daughter is eerie. This was like watching the usual Momversation bloggers in a special-effects bonanza titled "Momversation:2039."

Yah!! This was awesome. Loved listening & watching to Linda - you have some of the same mannerisms. So cute to hear how proud she is of you.

Your mom sounds exactly like I had imagined her to!

"I have been her mother for most of her life" HA! Love it.

"First of all, let me tell you she exaggerates a lot" ha ha ha ha! Awesome.
12.16.09 - 11:03 AM / 7EricaLucci said:
This is so awesome. You all have wonderful, supportive mothers!
12.16.09 - 11:04 AM / 8Rosemarie said:
I can't believe how much everyone's moms
a) look like them
b) TALK like them, especially Rebecca Woolf's mom.
Awesome!

Oh Heather, I envy you for having such a wonderfully supportive mother! The fact that she even reads your blog and wants to know how you are feeling about things...well, let me just tell you that you are lucky. My mother won't even get the internet (even though they do have a computer) and has no idea anything about this "blogging thing" I'm doing. And well, wow, I just have to say I think it's wonderful that your mom supports you, especially despite the whole religious differece (would love to see a Momversation on that one!) Although I realize this wasn't the topic, this video really got me thinking about the "mom relationship"...and to think I haven't even started blogging about my mother issues!

What Daddy Scratches said. Eerie.

I enjoyed the heck out of this Momversation! What lovely mothers you all have!
12.16.09 - 11:28 AM / 13funke said:
Lol @ Linda Hamilton! "Well, first you should know that Heather exaggerates..." Haha....
GirlsGoneChild's Mom - holy shit! They look and sound exactly alike. They even have the same mannerisms and facial expressions. Freaky!
12.16.09 - 11:28 AM / 14NolaMomma said:
Love it! And another one to agree that the similarities between the Moms and Daughters is uncanny! Must figure out a way to improve myself so my daughters have something more for which to strive.

hahahahahah I less than three how your mom has been your mom 'for most of your life'. My spidey sense is tingling on where you might have got your sense of humor from. Kudos to your dad for surviving in such a household of women!!

It's so nice to see and hear your mom's voice again. I really miss being around her! She's still as beautiful, intelligent and well spoken as ever.

God be praised! I have been waiting for this day! LOL

I love how you say, "Internet, meet the Avon World Sales Leader." That was hilarious!
But super sweet! I loved this momversation. :)

They're all such beautiful Grandmas. Heather, I love your Mum. She's beautiful. I see you in her. And Avon must be good, because her skin is exquisite.
I've told my Mum briefly about my Blog. That was months and months ago though. She's never seen it. But she doesn't use the internet. She's not old though. She's only 49! We got her a laptop, we just need to get her to use it.
Just in case I don't get the chance before Christmas arrives: Thank you for sharing your life with us. Thank you for making me laugh. Thank for sharing your pregnancy, and the birth of beautiful Marlo too. This year has been great, and I look forward to a new year at Dooce. Merry Christmas to you and your family {including your MOM!} xx

Heather? Fast forward 25 yrs. You are and will be just as classy! She's awesome!

Would it be rude to call your mom a GILF?
12.16.09 - 12:03 PM / 22playrawkstar said:
aww, that was crazy cute. hooray for moms!
12.16.09 - 12:06 PM / 23Coyote said:
Sweetest video ever. I totally teared up listening to the love in their voices and how proud they are of their daughters. I wish my mom was still alive. I could sure use some of that.
12.16.09 - 12:10 PM / 24doobrah said:
What she said was really nice, and I loved that Southern accent. Your mom for most of your life -- HA -- wonder what parts she wasn't your mom for? ;-)
12.16.09 - 12:31 PM / 25The Prima Momma said:
Wow. Such beautiful, articulate mothers! No wonder their daughters are such rock stars.
(I loved that your mom mentioned the therapeutic aspect of your blog during that most difficult time)
12.16.09 - 12:36 PM / 27McMissis said:
I hate to say the same thing as everyone else, but O.M.G. every one of those moms have the exact same mannerisms of the daughters. I LOVE IT! :)
12.16.09 - 01:03 PM / 28AngstyJen said:
Your mom is awesome! I can certainly see how she has conquered the cosmetics world. I'd love to have lunch with her and get her to teach me how to apply eye shadow.

Mom's are so kewl!
12.16.09 - 01:09 PM / 30SOLO dot MOM said:
What a great video. I liked the one mom who realized her liberation in "not caring" what everyone thought about her daughter blogging! You go mom of a blogger!!
12.16.09 - 01:14 PM / 31vakadesign said:
Your Mom is awesome! There is a big, strong personality there, isn't there?
Her comment about your blog and depression....My Mom recently came home from The Netherlands to stay for a week and help me. She said she knew I needed help because the tone of my writing had changed; she could read between the lines to see I was struggling to keep depression at bay.
