<p>Daughter far away at college just called my cell, mid-afternoon on a work day. That’s unusual, so I muted off of my conference call to talk to her, in case she was sick or something.</p>
<p>“Your car is ready to be picked up,” she said.</p>
<p>Yes, I accidentally gave the service guys HER cell phone number instead of mine this morning. :o</p>
<p>What an ingenious way to get your D to call you!</p>
<p>That’s funny. Not so accidental perhaps but a devious subconscious plot.</p>
<p>The call I recently got was at 2:30am with the words “I need your advice on whether I should go the the emergency or not”. Yikes. That woke me up in a hurry.
Turned out she had very badly hurt her foot, …but it was subsequently determined there was no fracture, just a very bad sprain.</p>
<p>I have a daughter just called my cell topper of all time: My friend, now a grown up woman with very grown up kids called home from college.</p>
<p>From non cell phone days…</p>
<p>Mom, I thinking about losing my virginity on Saturday night.</p>
<p>What do you want? Advice or permission?</p>
<p>I think I want permission.</p>
<p>Are you getting married?</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>Then you don’t have my permission.</p>
<p>We were in Mommy and Me when she told me this story. I laughed so hard I almost cried. Did I mention that we became best friends after that?</p>
