Tina Connolly’s contribution made me LOL a lot:

[… snip …]

Me: OMG mom they said the aliens put your city in a giant forcefield, like a dome

Mom: yes and the dome went right through the grocery store and the milk is on this side but the yogurt is on the other side

Mom: i don’t know why this always happens to me when i try to make a recipe

Mom: it never comes out the same as yours

Me: The aliens are saying they’ll let you out if the president gives into their demands.

Mom: yes that’s what they were telling mr stubbs i guess

Mom: well after mr stubbs decapitation they grabbed mr pratt up the street which is fine by me because he’s had those horrible dead bushes in his yard for two years

Mom: maybe now he’ll clean them out
