But the day before, people on Twitter were spilling their guts, tweeting the most inappropriate un-mommy-like stories of their mothers that they knew.
Gene Demby of PostBourgie, on NPR's Code Switch blog, tweeted the question, "What's your favorite semi-appropriate detail/story about your mother that you only learned later in life?" The responses were swift, terribly interesting and only funny because they weren't about your mother.
