Calling home.

So if anyone out there is watching the weather (while messing around on the computer), you will notice that there are tornado watches and severe thunderstorms and weathermen in a tizzy.  My husband told me that I should call my parents to make sure they were watching the weather because some of the heaviest storms are headed their way.

So I pick up the house phone (yes, we have a house phone. Don't be a hater.  We get good long distance) and dialed my dad's cell.  My mom picks up and says "Hello?" and I said "Hi, Mom?" And shes goes, "Yes?" so I go "Are you watching the weather?" And she says "No...why? Wait.  Who is this?" And I say "Mom, it's Lauren?! Mom?" And then I look at the caller id on my phone and I realize I dialed the right number but the wrong area code.  So I say, "Wait.  Did I call the wrong mom?" And she says "Yes" and so I say, "Well, someone's mom, you probably need to watch the weather." And so someone's mom says "why? what's going on?" So I explain the tornado situation and she says, "well where are you?" and I say, "Decatur...where are you?" And she says "Snellville" and I say, "well the storms are coming your way too! Watch the weather channel!" So she laughs and says, "I will! Thanks!"

And that is my story.  I hope you enjoyed the back and forth recitation.  Good night.  Take cover.
