good heavens

I was reading on some parenting/baby website about humidifiers and, to be helpful, they included reader feedback to help us make our informed decision. I read some and after this one, have no idea WHAT to do about it. here it is:

"my baby she is only 2 months old she had a cold and i got a humidifiers it worked like it want no tomorrow my little angel was better the next day im a young parent and i dint know it would work but i got one out of walmart and it really did help her alot im glad i listened to my ma and got one or it could of got worser if i didnt"
ahhahahaaaa... you started out reading that in your normal "thought voice" and ended up using a hillbilly backwoods accent, didn't you. (no offense to all of my backwoods readers)

My favorites:

"i got a humidifiers."

"it worked like it want no tomorrow" ?

"im glad i listened to my ma"

and "could of got worser" and just "worser." (<-- deserves its own) Also, the zero periods/punctuation. Always love that.


Anyway, I feel less educated than when i started out...

"I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

(I want to say this to people at least 3 times/day).

Whenever I start obsessively reading the comments on websites like Babycenter.com, I start to understand why I feel the need to mention my master's degree in the same breath that I tell people I'm a stay-at-home mom.

And I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who can switch their thoughts into a hillbilly backwoods accent!

My favorite phrase in that is definitely "could of got worser."

No, dear, it probably couldn't of.

I read it in my Natalie-Portman-Southern-voice. Remember when she names her daughter America?! This kid was totally named America.
