my mom recently had a major surgery - and as my sister was trying to explain to me via long distance phone call about the health care people that were assisting with mom's recovery... she kept talking about "The Ostameaners" and how (in my interpretation of the conversation and related to the name she was calling them) they would barge into the hospital room and unfeelingly do stuff to my weakened and defenseless mom related to checking on her surgery... now, as an adult I was able to fight off the bad imagery of my poor mommy laying prone in a hospital bed being poked and prodded and verbally abused by some insensitive hospital staff evil-doers (...they must be evil if they are called "meaners" right?) but the child in me couldn't hold it in and after hearing her say "The Ostameaners did this..." or "The Ostameaners said that..." about ten times, I finally had to yell at my sister over the phone - "OK ... hold on, what the *F* is an Ostameaner?!?!" to which she replied (after she laughed her ass off at me), "oh... Colostomy Nurse."

Hola seestor! I was reading your blog and it reminded me of a phone conversation I had with our mom a few days ago. She called me up to ask me what I was watching on TV. I said "Wife swap". She said "I slop?" and for some reason I got the giggles, I said "no... wife swap". She said "I sleep?" I was trying very hard not to laugh, but I couldn't help it. I said "NO!...WIFE SWAP!" She started to sound frustrated...and said "WHAT? I SLEEP?" OK.. By now I can't stop laughing... (I was actually lying in bed and had to get up to catch my breath and do the dance of many pigs, because I thought I was going to pee on myself from laughing so hard.) I could hear her mumbling on the phone "I don't know what your saying"...which was making me laugh even more. Finally I was able to compose myself to spell it out to her and she finally said "OH...WIFE SWAP!".
MAN! Today she called me and asked me "what are you watching?" I said "Pimp my ride" She said "I'm not even going there..." (Thought you could use a laugh.) Shirl
