The Cell Phone Incident

When most people are born typically the umbilical cord is cut and the baby is considered a newborn person free to make choices in life…not in my family…our cords reach so far that it goes through time and space all the way to my current age of 23.  Although that is about to completely change in less than 8 months I will be getting married to my amazing fiancé, and my cord will be officially (supposedly) cut.  This blog is to celebrate my zany families rules and to fill laughter to the ones whose cords have been cut in their rightful time…BIRTH.  Enjoy…and be thankful that the doctor’s knife didn’t miss.

The story continues with a massive DOT DOT DOT followed by a real …

The Cell Phone Incident

So one day my friends and I went to six flags to have a wicked fun day…sadly it began to rain (by rain I mean it felt like a torrential down pour mixed with the tornado from the wizard of oz.)


 During this time my phone got wet because it was in my pocket and it started to malfunction.  I was bummed when my phone stopped working, but I thought I would buy a cell phone on e-bay for cheap and it would be no big deal.  I ended up buying the phone and was proud that I got a deal on it.  I thought my mom would be proud that I solved the problem…boy was I wrong.

College me: so I bought a cell phone on eBay for a great deal because my phone hasn’t been working.

Mom: what do you mean you bought a cell phone?  How did you pay for it?

College me: I paid for it with my money.  Why are you getting mad?

Mom: You did not ask me to buy a cell phone.

College me: I didn’t think I needed to ask because it was not expensive and it was with my money???

(I should have known that if I did not ask permission to purchase something on my own things would have exploded…that was clearly my bad…Please taste the sarcasm that is in the air it is pretty moist.)

Mom: You are being very shady about this.

College me: No I am not acting shady…shady is not even telling you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(If I write more exclamation points maybe I will be understood)

Mom: Well because of this you cannot go out with your friends on Friday.

College me: I just bought a cell phone to replace the broken one?

(College me is frustrated at this point…adults are able to buy cell phones without a problem my mom was telling me that clearly I was 2 maybe 2 ½ if lucky.)

-------Later that day in the car heading home with mom-------

Mom: It is ok that you bought the cell phone I am fine with it.

College me: THEN WHY AM I GOING HOME INSTEAD OF GOING WITH MY FRIENDS… sigh... Yanks at the umbilical cord …(why won’t it come off! :D)
