Nice, my mother sends me pictures of cats with text imposed on them. Not lolcats mind you, but stuff like a picture of a kitten hanging from a windowsill that reads "Hang in there!"

Oh, and occasionally right-wing propaganda which when researched on Snopes is found to be highly inaccurate.

You do not get a t-shirt.

Unless your mother is a post-ironic performance artist.

My mom sent me a five minute coffee mug chocolate cake recipe today. Microwavable chocolate cake recipe. FTW.

Your t-shirt says "Practical Chocolate means I don't care if my mother is wittier than yours."

My mom is afraid of the internet...heck even computers in general.

She has learned what she needs to in order to do her job - but otherwise she steers clear of them. I've heard rumor she looks up recipes but - I don't believe it.

Is that what they call it nowadays? "Looking up recipes?" You can get fired for using a work computer for that.

I am afraid you also do not get a t-shirt.

I guess so - but she doesn't do that at work. Or maybe she does...

Who knows.
