Family conversations, (part deux - Yes, I am hooked on phonics)

Phone: ring, ring

Me(thinking): Crap, it's my mom - what the hell good is caller ID if I can't see it until I've picked up the receiver?

Me: Hello?

My Mom (in a slightly accusatory tone): What are you doing?

Me: Just watching a movie

My Mom (again, with the tone - you'd think she just caught me with a porn DVD or something): What movie?

Me: Just some old Doris Day movie

My Mom (in a disappointed tone): Oh... Well, anyway, did you know that your birthday is on a Saturday this year?

Me: Yeah

My Mom (even bigger disappointment): Oh, you knew that?

Me (thinking): It's February 12th EVERY YEAR, and I do have a calendar...

She was upset because she wasn't the first one to apprise me of the day on which my birthday will fall

  • Sounds more like she was disapointed that she didn't catch you in the act of doing something. I think she needs a bit of excitement in her life.

  • At least she wasn't calling to remind you that your birthday falls on the 12th this year.

  • Oh god, I got Caller ID for practically the sole purpose of screening my mom's calls. I'm evil, I know.

    I love your site!

  • hahaha wtf is right pusboy. and "pusboy" ???

    i'm straight, my mom doesn't call me. though when we talk about anything, doomsday is upon me. she thinks of any possible negative possiblity to play out and WORRIES about it! *shakingmyhead* she has way too much time on her hands.
