Hello?
So, I can't make it Friday.... I feel like my father.
Just don't make it a habit, what happened?
My mother, she got pulled over drunk. I have to drive her everywhere now since they took her licence.
That sucks.
It does. Friday's she volunteers at a homeless shelter, she said she could give up Tuesday's book club and Wednesday's hair appointment but Friday is non negotiable.
At least it's a good cause.
I know, but by cancelling on you I feel like a clone of my father.
It's not that bad Vicky, once does not make a habit.
I know... I'm just annoyed at myself.
Don't be. Do you want to reschedule?
Honestly, at this point trying to keep track of my mother is taking all my brain power. I haven't studied for three days.
Oh my, what is happening. Is there ice in hell? Are pigs flying?
Very funny.
Well, we waited this long.
This is so inconvenient.
Well, why don't we promise to phone once a day until then? Then it won't feel like as long.
I can do that.
Good. How is your mom?
She's fine. Grumpy that she got caught. That's really it.
She sounds like a fun person.
Irresponsible you mean.
Sure, but you have to admit that you aren't bored by her.
Anything but... Oh, apparently I have to drive her to Starbucks now. Craving coffee.
Wow, have fun. Get yourself something.
I don't drink coffee.
