Letter from the editor

Hi everybody!! *Bigsmile*

Now I know some of you are thinking, "Oh my god, it's Mia! *Delight*" or "Oh my god, it's Mia!! *Angry* or "Oh my god, who's Mia?” *Confused* Well I, along with Robert Waltz Author Icon, am the newest Comedy NL editor. By the way, Robert, don’t think I haven’t forgotten about that “Kick Me” sign. Your time is coming, my friend. You just wait …

Anyway, it’s been a while since I’ve really written anything. I have funny little anecdotes that I write about in my blog from time to time but it’s been over two years since I’ve put out a good short story comedy. Pretty much all my material is inspired by real events. I could pretty much write a novel just on the material I’ve gotten from my mother alone.

Every single one of us has had our parents embarrass us in front of our friends when we were kids. For a lot of people, it was the little pets they had for us.

I remember when I was 17 and I first went away to college, my mom called to see how I was doing. My roommates and I were in the middle of rearranging the room so I put her on speakerphone. I realize that was a big mistake. The conversation was going fine, when it happened …

Mom: So pumpkin, how are classes going?

Roommates: *silently giggling*

Me: Um *clears throat* Great. My classes are all great. I should get going now, mom.

Mom: Oh alright, honey. I love you, sweety-angel-babyface!

Roommates: *on the floor laughing*

Me: *sighs* Yeah … you too, mom. Bye.


Lucky for me, I was quite popular on campus. So I was able to laugh and joke about it along with everyone else. You have to be able to laugh at yourself.

I remember another embarrassing moment with mom. I had just turned 16 and my best friend, Derrick, came over to watch TV. My family and Derrick’s family had known each other for a couple of years. Derrick and I had always been good kids, and we were very trustworthy. None of that mattered to my mom. After all, Derrick is still a guy and I’m still her only daughter. When Derrick came over that day, my mom had to go out. She greeted Derrick as always, and then it happened …

Mom: I need to run a few errands. I’ll be back later!

Me: Okay, mom, see ya.

Mom: Bye sweetie! Don’t lose your virginity!


And with that, she closed the door. After an awkward silence, Derrick and I watched TV.

Yes, both stories are true. You really can't make this kinda stuff up. I hope you enjoyed my very first newsletter. I look forward to writing many more. *Smile*

And remember, readers: Every time someone subscribes to the Comedy NL, an angel gets its wings. And every time someone unsubscribes, I die a little inside.
