Ring. Ring.
MOM: “Hello?”
ME: “Hi, Ma. I don’t any time, but I wanted to..”
MOM: “You don’t have time?”
ME: “No, but real quick…”
MOM: “Why would you call when you don’t have time?”
ME: “My point being, I don’t have much time. But, just wanted to tell ya…”
MOM: “Well, I don’t want to take up your time."
ME: “If I could just say..”
MOM: “I mean, you called me…this time.”
ME: “I wanted to just quickly say…”
MOM: “I’d hate to be accused of taking your time.”
ME: “…if I could just let ya know…”
MOM: “Well, why don’t you call me when you have the time?”
ME: “But…”
MOM: “Some mother-daughter time."
ME: “I didn’t say…But…just…wanted…”
Silence.
MOM: “Honey. So, why did you call again?”
ME: “Uhh….Ah….Well…Gimme a minute.”
Author’s note…Although exaggerated, this conversation actually took place between my mother and myself early in the week. Of course, we were both giggling through the entire conversation. My mom is one hysterical lady….. And what did I have to say? Thanks for asking. An article I wrote about colic is the featured article of the week over at Parenting Pink. :-)

Rofl.......my MOM and I start giggling and can't stop...we have our own sense of humor. cherry
oh yes1 I so relate. Good Job.xx
LOL. Ya gotta love it! Good thing your mom's joking when she gets offended like that! ;o)
You should hear some of the messages my mom leaves on my voicemail. She gets so incredibly detailed that it takes up almost all of the room in my voicemail box. It's also so long that I don't need to call her back, but she gets mad if I don't, and then she calls me going, "Did you get my message?" and then repeats it all over again.
My mom does the same thing to me - calls when she has like 30 seconds to talk so it can work the other wa too. Happy Friday!
too funny!
Ha!
Congrats! That's awesome :)
Too funny!
Congrats on your article...your talent knows no bounds =)
hahahahahah....I can only imagine....
Loved your article on colic. My first had that and it was, well, you know, frustrating at best. Glad I'm out of that stage.
And when do you really have enough time to talk to your mom? I could talk to her all day but then I'd never get anything accomplished.
I am cracking up over here! Thanks for the laugh this morning.
Congrats on your feature!
These are like the convos between my 82 year old grandma and I...
Ah, so funny, moms are just so freakin' great. Good job on being published. I will check out the article, though I am done with the colic stage.
That's hilarious. It seems like a conversation me and my husband would have.
We are truly their life line. If I don't pick up the phone, she leaves a message, then my purse starts to vibrate because she's trying the cell. The message usually goes like this: "Should I call 911, has someone stolen you? I know that's what is going on because you definitely would have taken my call...Hee Hee!
That sounds like me and my mom! Hilarious! Love that!
Sounds like you've got just the right relationship with your mother! So funny!
And, thanks for stopping by Crumbs, too!
haha, i love that you guys have such a good relationship and can joke around like that. too funny!
I love the relationship my mom and I have. We are rediculous. Too funny!
