The blog-to-book madness continues.

Postcards From Yo Momma, a site that posts groan-inducing and eye-roll-worthy IM chats and e-mail exchanges with parents, has reportedly netted a print deal to publish its content.

User submissions are listed in a no-frills format, but occasionally hit gold with gems like:

I was in the car listening to the radio, and who is this “shorty” they keep talking about in rap songs?

I love you. I will pray for you. Be sure and take some kind of i.d. so if your plane crashes and burns they will know who to call. Hope you do that on all your trips anyway. That way if I don't get a dreadful call,
I will know you are just fine and happy.

The site was created by Brooklyn, New York-based writers Doree Shafrir (of The New York Observer) and Jessica Grose (of Gawker blog Jezebel). The deal comes just a month after satirical blog Stuff White People Like nailed a hefty chunk of change to publish its provocative, eyebrow-raising posts.

The Postcards From Yo Momma book is due out next April from Hyperion.
