I did this on accident to my mom.

Halloween social post dressed like Bob Ross. Partner dressed as a tree. Then classic Bob Ross quotes:

"There aren't any mistakes, just happy accidents. This is your bravery test."

The disappointment on the phone call a few days later... Whew. Should have picked better quotes.

Ha ha ha, that is funny. I think it's sweet the ducks are mated. Hopefully the male doesn't drown the female holding her head underwater while he drills his corkscrew penis into her vagina or cloaca as the case may be. That is a thing with ducks, the males sometimes kill the females in the act.

Who the fuck starts a conversation like that? I just sat down!

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is it the drowning or the corkscrew penis that is the startling part?

[–] OhShitSon@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Explosive corkscrew erection

[–] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 87 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I need more details about the ducks.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 31 points 2 days ago

really depends on the mom. some are pretty horrible when it comes to nagging their grown kids about their lack of kids.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 22 points 2 days ago

Sorry, we can't have kids the way we do it.

My grandmother, drunk at my wedding, told my brother that "it doesn't really matter until I have grandkids"... to her grandkid... at her grandkid's wedding... knowing full well I will never have children. I would absolutely do this to her.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Your wedding was at your siblings funeral?

Oh god no, I meant to say "wedding," sorry. Edited for clarity. I wrote that at the end of a 13 hour day of work, sorry that didn't make any sense.

I think it's mean for parents hounding you to have raw, unprotected sex just for their own amusement.

[–] Saapas@piefed.zip 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's not in the meme though

[–] Yliaster@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Immaculate conception isn't either

[–] Saapas@piefed.zip 1 points 1 day ago

I'm talking about the hounding part lol

[–] VelvetPinkOtter123@lemmy.world -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If I'm also a bad person I'm a good person

is that the logic here because that doesn't make any sense

It's like the whole world is in a competition to see who can justify being the biggest asshole the best

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, the logic is about parents asking their grandchildren "when are you gonna give me grand kids?"

First of all, they're not YOUR grandkids, they're OUR children. We're raising them. We're feeding them. We're changing diapers, not you. You want a purse accessory you want to show your friends and hold them for 5 minutes until they shit themselves then hand them back to US to take care of.

And why are you asking when we're having kids? How are kids formed, mom? You want to know my sex life? You want to know how much your son in law is raw dogging me ever week? You want to know if I'm ovulating and can be impregnated?

That's the logic. And it's really fucking gross. Parents asking when they're getting grandkids is really fucking gross.

OK, lets go through this again

OP accidentally upset her parents by saying "we have news". He mother assumed it meant they were about to have a child when in reality she just wanted to let everyone know her two ducks were dating.

When the mother found out the news was about two dating ducks she got visibly upset; and when OP saw this look of sadness fall on her mothers face, instead of feeling bad, she thought it was funny. So funny that she's decided she's going to do this regularly

A user on Lemmy pointed out that this is a pretty mean thing to do. What kind of jerk gets pleasure from making other people visibly upset?

You tried to justify her mean behavior by saying it's warranted because it's mean for her parents to hound her for grandchildren.

This where I pointed out to you that even if OPs mother is hounding her for grandchildren, and that is mean, so what? One person being mean doesn't justify you being mean too. Two wrongs don't make a right. It's sad that the entire world seems to be in a competition to see who can justify their mean behavior the best

If OPs mother is hounding OP for grandchildren, and it is mean, OPs mother probably has her own justification for it. If you and OP decide to be mean in return, you do so with justification of your own. Both people are being mean and trying to justify why their mean behavior is better than the other person mean behavior

It's sad that at least one of you can't just be nice.

It's sad that the entire world seems to be in a competition to see who can justify their mean behavior the best... instead of, you know, just being nice

And then you responded by trying to justify your mean behavior the best... proving you learned nothing

You're an asshole.
