She is Never Happy
FOUND by Dawn Rose in Mesa, Arizona
I found this in a Wal-mart parking lot sometime in late 2006.

I think I will look at this tomorrow. It is too late at the moment to comment on this.

This is one complicated family. I wonder if Dad ever talks to Edward. I guess he'll have to, if he's going to find out if Mom is ever happy. Maybe he should take his offspring's word for it. And what's Mario doing at Vicky's?

I love the juxtaposition of "Dear Dad" and then the incredible run-on sentence afterward full of text-message slang. Does he usually talk to his dad via IM? I am with Clover--so many juicy questions from this little note.

Mom appears to drive all males away from her.

Mean Mom!

I'm thinking Dad don't got to be told that "my Mom she's always mad". I'm thinking that's one of the reasons Dad's not being there in the first place.

Now as far as Mario (and Luigi?) being at Vicky house ... really, what's up with that?

All in all, sort of a down way to end the year.

I'll bet Mom is mad all the time 'cause she can't "work it out" like that chickie in the American Apparel ad. She pisses me off. I'm never gonna look like that.
jeeze.

How come I never see the American Apparel ads anymore?

Yeah, what I said. Wait... how'd I do that?

This is a sad, sad, sad, sad note. The lack of education and the subject matter lead me to believe that the poverty cycle will continue. This should be titled "Despair".

Silly, Mario is at Vicky's house because her plumbing needs work.

hey, kid, instead of whining to dad about how mean and unhappy mom is, you try something like.. oh I don't know.. do the dishes, get your laundry pile out of your room and sorted.. vacuum the living room.

I'd be willing to bet that mom's entire paradigm would shift. (and yours, as a result.)

If mama ain't happy, ain't NOBODY happy.

get on it, would ya?

Dear Offspring, the only common factor here is you. So it is safe to assume that you are to blame for your mom's unhappiness. Obviously the entire lack of your housework is the root of "If mama aint happy, aint NOBODY happy". So go and knock out the dishes and it will be rainbow farting unicorns from now on. Love Dad

I'm with Lawndude (although our lawns are miles apart) and Librarian. This reminder of the continuing cycle of poverty is depressing. Like the sad little cheerleader caught in a cycle of wanna-be popular, these are things I don't want to focus on as the New Year arrives. I wish they would disappear with the Old Year. Good-bye to negative cycles!

That work it out girl for American Apparel looks like she's posing for a promotional poster for a porno (what alliteration!) with her ass all stuck out like that and the leotard riding a little high.

@ Richard Girth

I got a rainbow farting unicorn for Christmas, and it didn't make me happy at all. What a rip-off!!! All it does is blow chewed up chunks of crayon out it's butt. I think I'm going to exchange it for a flying pig.

The find is yet another example how text messaging is ruining the youth of America. By 2030, our country will be run by a bunch of idiots that can't spell out "because" or "for" -- lazy fingers make for lazy brains!

I wonder why he would be able to talk on the phone if Mario was home? Would Mario secretly let Offspring use his cell phone? Or would Mario distract mom (perhaps by doing something to make her happy) so Offspring could call dad? I don't think Vicky is going to be happy about this...

Mario is not at Vicky's house but in another castle.
Just ask Edward.

ho-hum
Mom's mad and mean because she's been homeschooling your dumb ass for years and you still write like an 8 year old. By the way, you're 25, it's time to move out.

American taxpayers spend billions on education and this is what we get in return? I wish someone could explain to me the fascination that kids (and many adults I know) have with text messaging. Why the hell can't they simply pick up the telephone and call someone and get the conversation over with?

About the content of the note:
Sad.

About the text message lingo:
That shit drives me up the wall, but in this case, I think the subject matter overshadows the style. B-sidez u got 2 giv the kid sum credit 4 usin apostrophes properly 5 timez.

About the American Apparel ads:
I don't think they're going anywhere anytime soon. Maybe I'll start a separate forum where people can complain about the ads, and whimper on about how inferior the models make them feel. Actually, the latter would make perfect fodder for postsecret.

I find it strange the way he refers to his mother to his father as "My Mom" and not just "Mom"

The American Apparel models make me feel good about myself. I mean just look at them. But I will admit there is something about that one chick in the spandex.

@Rat: Maybe his dad was just a doner and got seeked out by the kid. Maybe thats why the mom so pissed. There seems to be alot of men in her life??

Mom comes out of Wal*Mart...

Opens door on piece of shit 1988 Ford Escort

Sweating delirious kid is taken taken totally by suprise as the windows were rolled up in the car and it's 120 outside...

"...and jus' what do you think yer doin' missy?" "Gimme that ..." (rips note from kids hand ...reads it - throws it in parking lot) ...Mean? ...you little shit - yer luck I don't drive to Nebraska and dump your sorry ass off..."

Drives off to try and find Mario at Vicky's, and then head over to dump them all at Edwards for so she can get to the strip club on time for once...

Hiplainsdrifter, it's a sorry state of affairs that this is all too common a scene nowadays. It's a little sad. Although you forgot the bag of McDonald's that she throws at the kid when she opens the door.
