I’m starting a Twitter theme – a tweme, if you will, called “I’m the Mom Who” or “I’m the Mom Whose” which we’ll shorten to #mom for Mother’s Day – to tell funny tales of parenting. (No Dad Left Behind –
on Father’s day, we’ll start the #dad tweme.) A tweet that contains a “hash tag” like #mom gets pulled together with other tweets containing the same tag at twemes.com.
While there may be a few guilty confessions in there, the goal is to gather funny sayings from your kids throughout the day, or recount funny scenarios, not to pour your guts out in 140 characters or less.
Here are some examples:
I’m the #mom whose 4-year-old son who wants to buy his preschool teacher a gift certificate “For Zales, for diamonds!”, for the holidays.
I’m the #mom who joins in when my kids have a screaming contest.
Every one of these tweets are gathered together for easy viewing and laughing at:

On the Friday before Mother’s Day, this tweme will be a hot pick, so keep an eye out for it.
