Scene: 3:45 on Monday. Mom tries calling my cell phone. I am talking with a co-worker so I ignore it. She calls my office. I fear the worst.
Mom: Christine are you busy?
Me: Why?
Mom: <insert panicked voice here> We heard a terrible rumor that Ronnie Dunn died (the guy from Brooks and Dunn). Can you look it up on the computer?
Me: Mom, that was Ryan Dunn from MTV’s Jackass.
Mom: ….. oh well your cousin Mikey saw it on the internet and called your Aunt Darlene at work and she called me and hold on
here’s Dad…
here’s Dad…
Dad: I CANT BELIEVE YOUR MOM CALLED YOU FOR THIS.
Me: Y’all still have the internet in Port Isabel right?
Dad: You should be scared that you came from her gene pool.
Me: Ok so I’m going to get back to work.
Dad: Ok love you.
Me: Please tell mom not to call me at work unless someone from OUR family has died. Mmmmk?
