Maybe I was wrong about my mom and my bronyism...

I told my mother I was a fan of the show when she visited me last month, and she was cordial about it, but not thrilled. I wasn't sure if she disapproved or simply didn't know what to make of it yet, but I assumed the worst and have not talked with her very much since then.

 

Well, last night we finally talked on the phone again, and I'm starting to think she's okay with it after all. I brought up the story I had written for Clarity's fanfiction contest, which led us to My Little Pony again. She was curious and asked me to email the story so she could read it! I told her about the forums and all the awesome fanworks and how many guys just like me were into this show all over the country. "I thought maybe you wouldn't like it," I said, referring to my being a brony. "After all these years I can accept just about everything," she replied.

 

My mom surprised me there, because acceptance wasn't always her strong suit in the past. So that made me feel really good. I sent her a link to Episode 1 along with my story so she would know who the ponies were and some of the references, so who knows? Maybe I can make her a fan of the show too! I can't wait to see what she says.

Cool Tails! Pretty cool idea sending your mom the fanfic and an episode.

Your mom just might like the show. It's a high possibility, this show is very good.

I sorta exposed my mom to it early on, on Xmas Day I think last year. She teased me at first, but is okay with it. She knows I am the same old person, just one who likes ponies.
