My mom pretends to be scary and it can be really funny.

Im not sure if theres a better place to post this but here we go :D

So my mom always has said from time to time said stuff like "im soo tough and rough becuase xyz" (usually becuase her parents didnt care and let her run around her neighborhood alone or becuase she went to military school for highschool, which dont get me wrong military school is probably hard and rough.)

But within the past like 3-2.5 years ish its ramped up. I also want to mention we are american.

I am not joking, she goes on Facebook and pretends to be irish. She even in real life calls out people for being "plastic paddys". I wish I was joking. She also (in private thank god) calls herself a "irish gangster" becuase she listens to irish punk music. She refuses to listen to any other punk music too, and most of it is the ai generated "viking music" on Spotify. I feel like this is a scrapped comedy script but she actually does this😭.

She also (again in private thankfully) jokes how shes comming to hell to "replace satans throne" or something like that. I have to hold in laughter sometimes becuase she very clearly (atleast anymore) isint a "fighter" or "gangster". Unless i missed something and watching fox news and listening to irish punk suddenly means your a gangster.

And dont get me wrong I do love her! But its silly and I know if I call her out shes gonna throw a mild tantrum (as she does that often).

I just wanted to share and maybe someone can relate lol

Ps, I realized "silly" could sound over negative, I mean silly as in mildly annoying at best and more lighthearted than anything :>
