Yea Darkmane, all you have to do is tell her that you wanna go to a furry convention. If she asks what one is, just tell it to her straight, a fan of anthro animals. Explain it to her if she dosn't get it as cartoon animals. That's about all that there is to it. :)

Just because I'm okay with you knowing about me doesn't mean you can announce it to the world mom. Seriously

if I know my mom she'd treat me differently as soon as I told her, the rest of my family too

she'd pull a jaggsky's mom on me...

I told my mom I was a furry a long time ago....
She forgot within 5 minutes about the whole conversation of me explaining what furry is...  At least she was ok with it.  :3

Hmm. I suggest not wearing your collar as a conversation starter. I told me parents that I'm a furry and... well... To be honest, it wasent pretty. My mom yelled at me, cried for almost an hour, and then degenerated into cruel jokes.
Are you jealous of the dogs, because they are actually furry?
It was pretty bad. Now I'm signed up for a psychiatrist and a PASTORAL therapist. Great. So much for open-mindedness.  :(
She also signed me up for a mentorship program, considered (and still is considering) sending me to a home for troubled teens for a few weeks and made me 'pwomise I wont go on any furry sites, or call myself a furry, or wear my collar or anything like that ever, ever again!' Loverly.
Now I go on here in secret... And hope beyond hope she doesent search for me online.

Generally, what I'm saying is know who your dealing with  >:(  :(  :S
