My Mother Just Called

J.S. asks from Green Cove Springs, FL

To ask what my phone number was. Not even kidding. She was filling out some forms for my dad and putting me as an emergency contact and HPPA so she called me. The lady helping her with the forms was totally cracking up.

Why did she have to add me? Because my dad had his father down as a emergency contact...considering grandpa has been dead for 10 years now, I don't see that as being helpful.

Anybody else do anything silly today?

Yes, it was her cell. But the funny thing is that she could have just looked in her contacts and it would have been right there. She even admitted that while we were talking. Duh!
Poor mom has had a lot to deal with lately, so we will forgive her.

So What Happened?

Alexis: LMAO! That is too funny. My grandma refuses to use the internet or computers because she is terrified of the "dirty pictures" she might find. I have admit, I am so glad because one year my grandma and I were looking for a specific glass baking pan for my mother. I told grandma that I would look on line. So I went to Pyrex.com, pyrex being a company that makes glass items, but did you know that Pyrex is also an adult toy store? Yeah, that was fun. So, glad grandma refused to look online.

OH LOL!! Thanks for the chuckle ;)

Last night I was running late after getting my hair cut, and I knew the kids were starving. I made 2 separate plates of food for each of my daughters. The first one I stuck in the microwave... WITH A FORK!! D'OH! When the second plate was done, I told my daughter to grab her food because my hands were full. She goes 'MOM!! You heated it up with no food on it!!' DOUBLE D'OH!!

I made myself a drink and called it quits after that ;)

Went out to eat with my dear husband and left the babysitter with detailed instructions and to call me if she needed me. Got to the restaurant and put my "cell phone" on the table only to realize I had brought the TV remote control instead of the cell phone. Since my kids are teengers that was obviously a while ago and no one would mistake a TV remote for a cell phone - but back in the day....

Once when I was in retail for a large store. I was the "manager on call". At the time, that meant I had a pager and I had a walkie talkie on my waistband.. Not to mention the big name tag with my name, and Manager in Big letters.

I was assisting a employee with a register, while answering the ringing phone, while my pager and walkie are calling out my name..

A customer walks up and asks me, "Do YOU work here?" I just started laughing.. Another customer told the lady, "no she JUST grabbed someone elses name tag and is just prtending to know how to use the regester and answer the phones. I could have kissed that man on the lips.

My own lunacy was one day I was in my truck and could not find my cell phone. I was freaking out!

I dumped my purse out on the seat.. Looked through all of my pockets.Looked through my work bag that has all of my supplies and tools.

I got out of the truck and looked under the seats, between the seats.. I was so upset.. Then I realized, I was talking on the cell phone to my business partner the entire time.

I am an idiot.. sometimes.. ok, too many times.

This wasn't today but I've had both my husband and my aunt call me at home (on my house phone) and say "Where are you?". Guess they both thought they called my cell.

My aunt has also called me at work and said "Yeah, what are you doing?"...well gee...I'm working???

HAHAHA my mom used to call me at work to find out where I was...on my work phone.

Now she'll call the house and with the kids playing/fighting/etc in the background she'll ask me where the kids are. I make up stuff like I shipped them to a vacation in Mexico, enrolled them with a traveling circus or playing out in the street with no coats on. She has yet to stop asking and my oldest is 5!

Internet thing:

Happened to a friend of mine, her elementary school aged son went to whitehouse.com instead of whitehouse.org/whitehouse.gov.

They were very glad they had parental controls on once she went to the computer to try and figure out what was goint on. Because while mom was allowing the content, she figured it was one of those pages that had the word "but" on it and that was why it was being blocked, the kids went to go get some snacks.

She got her eyes full. It was quite shocking to find out that whitehouse.com was quite the site for all kids of....umm, activities.

Had they been standing there when it freed up to open the would have been oh so curious about those kinds of things.

It has since been closed down due to this same thing happening to many many many school aged children. Thank goodness but anyway, there are tons of them like that out there.

Haha, these stories are so funny. One of the first times we went to my husband's grandmother's house, I noticed she didn't have a computer. My husband asked her why, what if she wanted to look something up? She said, "I don't need one of those computer things, I use my brain instead!!"

'Nuff said, grandma. :)

Yesterday.
My 13 year old daughter said a bad word, now this is the girl that has won prices for her lenguge arts work and have her poems publish at the school.

So I told her that I think a lady like her with such a vast vocabulary should don't feel the need to use a bad word to express her self.

So she said I am sorry I will say humosist for now on. So me, with my lack on English and my stupidity (and trust!!) I say: "There, you see, now you don't sound like an ignorant but actually smart lady"

I am SO glad that little stinky couldn't hold her laugh because other ways you would have hear me say "that is so "humosist!" all the time and thinking I sound so fancy.

GRRRRRRRRRRR!
lol.

Okay, pretty funny of your mom! My moment was when I fixed a pb sandwich for my daycare child and pb&j's for my own kids. I accidentally set a pb&j in front of the little girl and she says, oops, pb only please. Oh yes, sorry, I forgot. I pick up the plate turn in a circle and place the same exact plate in front of her. She is looking at me with this look on her face like I must be crazy and it took me a minute to realize what I had done! Wow was I embarrassed!

What kind of phone did she call from??

If a cell phone, I could understand as perhaps she has your name saved and doesn't quite get all the steps to seeing your number.

But if she dialed it...then that's totally a senior moment.
