Yesterday I get a frantic call from my mother:
Mom: Where are you?
Jane: Sonic
Mom: In Phoenix?
Jane: No Mesa
Mom: So you are not in California?
Jane: No I'm with the kids at Sonic (side note Happy Hour 1/2 price drinks)
Mom: I just wanted to make sure you were not in the same diaster we are
Jane: What's going on?
Mom: I dont know we were headed to Airport, they just dropped us off after the bomb threat
Jane: Where are you?
Mom: California
Jane: What bomb threat?
Mom: I dont know we are trying to get the news on the internet now
Jane: Where are you again?
Mom: By LAX, we were dropped off on Century Blvd
Jane: You are in California? Going home or going to?
Mom: Yes we are at LAX
Jane: When did you go there, I guess if I were still taking care of Henry I would have known that
Who knew that I would miss the bird
I love that we all have such clearly communicated conversations with our mothers :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know whats funnier, that you actually miss taking care of Henry or the thought of your poor parents walking around Century Blvd. Poor Mom and Dad....that is a nightmare.
ReplyDeleteWow, just another Dave and Rae experience. I guess it was just a "freak (natural gas?) explosion" close to the airport. It does seem strange, though, that the buses were just dropping people off a block away from the explosion and letting us walk all the way around the airport. It was a little scary to be in lost in the middle of LA and not know what was going on. Who knew they send out 8 bomb squad vans and escorts for a freak accident. Oh well, home safe but my favorite running shoes are some where in LA. Love, Mom
ReplyDeleteI love it...I have the same confusing conversations with my mom. LOL!
ReplyDeletemmmm...is this a Rand trait? I sometimes have conversations that play like the game "operator" with my mom too....fortunately, not often
ReplyDeleteI can't even talk to my mom right now...too many secrets going on, and I'm afraid I might slip! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to Henry? I didn't know he wasn't in the family anymore. You never know where your Mom & Dad will be at any given time!!!!! Sure glad I can read your blog to keep up on this family info. Auntie Em
ReplyDeleteI love Sonic - yay for happy hour drinks there!
ReplyDeletePoor mom and dad!
