1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Today if fed up by accidentally finding out that my

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: mom is gay.

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 2: Okayop, this is okay Ope.

4
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: I'm samuel O Bonner and I'm h and we tell

5
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: the funniest stories on the Internet.

6
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 2: And John, I got another crazy one for you. It

7
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 2: has to do with family. Oh, that's so weird. Secret,

8
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 2: it's gonna be so sweet.

9
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: Nope, never sweet, never sweet, always crazy. So this happened

10
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: about nine years ago when I, twenty three female, was

11
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: in ninth grade. Like most other fourteen year olds, I

12
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 1: had been looking forward to take your kid to Work

13
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: day since I started high school, and the day had

14
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 1: finally come. I went with my mother to her office job,

15
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: expecting the day of fun and excitement. Yeah, the office

16
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: wonderland of childhood dreams, papers and faxes, saples and middle

17
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: management meetings.

18
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, what a thrill depression.

19
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: Was expecting a day of excitement, and was deeply disappointed

20
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: to find out that office jobs are not particularly thrilling.

21
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 2: Shock her shocking.

22
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: At around noon, my mom briefly left her desk to

23
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: grab us some food. So, like any other fourteen year

24
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: old girl who's feeling pretty cute in her new outfit,

25
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: you know.

26
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: Looking good, looking good like a snack.

27
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: But I don't know if I can say that because

28
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: she's fourteen, that's true, looking looking like a snack to herself,

29
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: a self snack, snack that you pack with yourself to school,

30
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: lunchble lunchable, looking like a lunch of all. I swiped

31
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: her cell phone off her desk to take some cute selfies.

32
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: I had a flip.

33
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: Phone and she had an iPhone for work, so the

34
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: quality was significantly better on the iPhone for sure. Right

35
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: as I was about to start snapping some fix, I

36
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: noticed something odd about the thumbnail pick in the bottom

37
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: of the screen of her latest image. I opened the

38
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: image and lo and behold. It is the most comfortably posed,

39
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: low angle, tilted up picture of a middle age milk

40
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:21,399
Speaker 1: cuban milk utter, milky milky jugs, milky jugs, milk jug, milkhugs, milkjugs.

41
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 2: There we go, hean cu.

42
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: It is the most uncomfortably posed, low angle, tilted up

43
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: picture of a middle aged milk.

44
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 2: Juge like those milk like those milk jugs. Oh my god.

45
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: The point of the milk jug was aggressively pointed at

46
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: the camera, and from that angle all I could see

47
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: was the milk jug the double chin and a face.

48
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: Oh dear, this is the really awkward description.

49
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: It sounds like a weird discovery and even a weirder picture.

50
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: I immediately see that this isn't just any milk jug.

51
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: This is a milk jug that is attached to my

52
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: mother her best friend.

53
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 2: Oh, oh my god.

54
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: And to give some background, my family was raised extremely Christian,

55
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: the kind where gay is not okay. Sorry, I've long

56
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: since abandoned that religion. And so this best friend of

57
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: hers was a fairly new friend who wasn't religious, so

58
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: I'd always been wary of.

59
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: Her and her hats morals.

60
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: And then I instantly connected the dots. My mom is gay,

61
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: lying about it, and in a secret relationship with her

62
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: so called best friend who spends every week with her.

63
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: You know, you know what they're getting up to one

64
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: those weekends, do dougs, baby.

65
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: I experienced a full blown identity crisis in about fifteen seconds.

66
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: For a little Christian kid like myself, this felt like

67
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: the end of the dar world. Not only did I

68
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: have my world explode and put it to back together

69
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: before my mom returned about two minutes.

70
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: Oh my god, can you imagine? Imagine? You're just sitting

71
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 2: there with like, your whole life perception of everything is

72
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 2: blown up, and your mom just comes back like nothing, Like, hey.

73
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: Her reality is shattered into a million rainbow pieces right now.

74
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: But I then have to spend the rest of the

75
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: entire day pretending to pay attention to the menial office

76
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: task a foot away from my very rainbow mom. At

77
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: the end of the day, I kept my mom's secret

78
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: from her and the rest of the family until she

79
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: finally came out of the closet two years later.

80
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: Three years later, one eatality lay down.

81
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: A year or two ago, I told my mom this story,

82
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: much to her humiliation, and we just about died laughing

83
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: together about it. Her and her partner have now been

84
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: happily married for eleven years.

85
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 2: WHOA, what a sweet turnaround of this story.

86
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: I'm eternally grateful for my mom's part in making me

87
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: realize that the religion I was part of was awful

88
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: and intolerant. So I learned a valuable lesson about snooping

89
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: around on my mom's phone. And I sure can't complain

90
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: that I had a boring day at my mom's office.

91
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, she can't say it was a boring office.

92
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: It's not a boring office day, My friend, I love,

93
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: I love, I love the wholesome turn. I love it,

94
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: the wholesome turn. We're happy we hit so little of

95
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: them here on the show. It's nice to it's nice
