I've been missing my boys something fierce this week since I've worked 3 in a row with 2 more nights to go. They are truly everything to me and I can't believe I made these magnificent human beings. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

so when i was 7 or 8 i’d “write letters to hermione granger” and set them out on the piano in the living room every night with my stuffed toy owl and every morning i’d have a letter from hermione back, sitting at the foot of my bed, and hermione and i corresponded like that for months and i’d just like to thank my mom for writing out a “letter from hermione” for me every single night

[sure-to-lure-someone-bad-deacti]

That is the cutest thing I’ve ever read oh my god

[justastormie]

so when i was about the same age i got really into both ciphers and james madison (idk don’t ask) so i just randomly started writing these letters like i was james madison writing to my own spy ring, using all kinds of ciphers. constantly writing that WE MUST SWITCH CIPHERS THE BRITISH ARE ON TO US. and it wasn’t every night because the ciphers kept getting more complex, but it was about one every week for six months and my mother always responded. and she always found the letters, because i took to hiding them in increasingly more obscure locations because spies, obviously. 

i didn’t realize how much work this was until i snuck down late one night for a cookie. and saw my mother bent over my giant book of ciphers and muttering to the dog “is this another code or can she not spell?” (i could not and still can not spell) and i was a bit angry at first but i kept watching and she KEPT AT IT. checking everything in that book against my letter and i never felt so loved. my mom with a full time job sitting up to figure out my silly letters said just because i enjoyed the game. 

i got her this bio of james madison a few years ago for xmas with a simple number substitution cipher on the inside saying “In thanks for your dedicated years of service, your daughter and occasional President.” She still has it pride of place on her desk next to the obligatory kid pics

so yeah cute mom story for the day. 

[unicornempire]

These are some of the best secret mom stories I’ve ever read, omg.

So glad my job lets me rock that pink and purple My Little Pony hair! It makes me happy every time I look in the mirror! Don't mind the weird face- trying not to look like that douchebag taking a selfie and this is my third in a row!

Uh oh, you just died and now your family is planning what your tombstone will say. They decide to use your last outgoing text message... What's your tombstone say?

My last text says “Aw, thanks!”, which sounds fine to me.

“Be right down.” Uh-oh.
