A wonderful story from The Onion: Mom Finds Out About Blog!
MINNEAPOLIS, MN—In a turn of events the 30-year-old characterized as “horrifying,” Kevin Widmar announced Tuesday that his mother Lillian has discovered his weblog.
“Apparently, Mom typed [Widmar’s employer] Dean Healthcare into Google along with my name and, lo and behold, PlanetKevin popped up,” Widmar said. “I’m so fucked.”
In an e-mail sent to Widmar Monday, Lillian reported in large purple letters that she was “VERY EXCITED :)!!!” to find his “computer diary,” but was perplexed that he hadn’t mentioned it to her.
Upon receipt of the e-mail, Widmar mentally raced through the contents of his blog. He immediately thought of several dozen posts in which he mentioned drinking, drug use, casual sex, and other behavior likely to alarm his mother.
Luckily, something I don’t have to worry about it. I already know that Mom reads (and comments on!) my weblog, and by now, she should be quite aware that I occasionally imbibe alcohol (though not the “beers so dark they’re served with a knife and fork” that she and my brother enjoy), I experimented with drugs for a few years (and stopped quite a few years ago), and that I take every single one of my multitudes of daily sexual encounters with random strangers very seriously, and not casually at all.

Not only does my mom read my blog but do does my boyfriend’s grandmother! I didn’t even know that until a few weeks ago when he mentioned it in passing. now I fret about all the topics I talked about in my blog: Sex, pills, violence, anger, etc…
But not too long ago I was surprised to hear that she’s one of my most avid readers and recommends my blog to all her friends. o.0
While I don’t have any problems with my mother coming around anytime soon, that’s not the case with many of my friends. I talk about anything and everything on my blog, but I can’t seem to be as critical of my friends as I’d like to be just because I know they’ll be reading the entry as soon as it’s posted.
I feel lucky, nobody knows me, nobody reads my blog, and I never say anything important.
Were my Mother alive she would read it eveyday, and more than likely would comment along the lines of.
“Damm son…. get a life”
hu hu, I have nothing to worry about at all, my mom can’t read English ^O^ it is the very reason why I didn’t blog in Thai, I never wanted anyone I know to read it ^^;;
