The Postcards for Mom Pranksters

Just got off the phone with Mom. She has my kids today. Everyone, we're doing great.

Mom: We're getting ready to paint the front door red.
Me: You are? Don't you have a really nice door?
Mom: Yeah.
Me: But you're painting it red?
Mom: No, the kids are. That's what my mail is telling me.
Me: Your mail told you to paint the front door red? Isn't that a real nice wooden door?!
Mom: Yeah. The mail is driving me insane so I figured I'd just go with it.

Another conversation:

Mom: I got a book of recipes.
Me: A book?
Mom: Yeah, someone tore out a bunch of pages to a book and now I have them. I need a three-ring binder.
Me: Umm.. a whole book?
Mom: Yep. And I also got a recipe on how to boil water.
I laughed...
