Enter My Mom Is a Fob, a blog dedicated to moments of, for lack of a better word, the "fobbishness" of parents. The site serves as a repository for e-mails, photos, and conversations with immigrant parents who probably mean well, but often run into problems expressing or understanding exactly what is going on in American culture. Interested readers can send in their own funny stories as well. I love this site not only because it makes me laugh, but because for most immigrant families, there's something about all of these stories that's not only plausible, hilarious, and endearing, but relatable too. For readers that like their funny sayings with a patriarchal spin, the blog creators have also set up My Dad Is a Fob.

You'd better believe that I didn't hoodwink her.
