My mom is a fob, is yours?

Is your mom a fob? Wouldn’t it be great if there were a collection of all the fobby mom-isms that your mom has ever said to you? Your wish is Teresa and Serena Wu’s (no, they aren’t sisters- just two friends with the same sense of humor) command. They proudly present, mymomisafob.com! MyMomisaFob.com is a user generated website showcasing the emails, IMs, conversations, mispronunciations, pictures etc of our mothers.

Is that awesome or is that awesome?

Teresa and Serena are juniors at UCSD and UCBerkeley, respectively. MyMomisaFob.com started as a brainstorm between the two of them and rapidly took off from there. Not surprisingly, some of the inspiration comes from Teresa’s own Taiwanese mother. In fact, her mom used to rock one of those huge plastic visors. You know what I’m talking about, your mom wears one too. In Teresa’s words,

“A cute fob mom is painfully out of touch with American culture yet tries every day to connect to her kid’s lifestyle, whether that’s suggesting a night out at the club together or learning to text message for the first time. She gives a combination of the best, worst, and most unintentionally hilarious advice.”

Moms. Gotta love ‘em.

To add icing to the cake, MyDadIsAFob.com recently launched. Same concept, different parent.

Check out their sites and submit your fobby moms and dads to Teresa and Serena!
