Your mama said so
Mom called and left several messages while I was in the bathtub – now mind you this was my first time in the tub in a while as my feet have been bandaged, but finally given the green light to soak, I dove in and didn’t want to get out. I was headed to meet G at Swirl for the Tuesday night tasting, and I called mom on my way and here’s the exchange:
Mom – Why haven’t you called me back?
R – I was in the tub and getting ready to go to Swirl.
Mom – well stop calling me when you are on your way into a restaurant.
R – I’m not on my way in, I’m on my way over. I have plenty of time to talk. What’s up?
Mom – nothing. I have nothing to say.
R – well then I’m glad I called you back. What are you doing right now?
Mom – I’m sitting here naked watching Dancing with the Stars, waiting for my tub to fill.
It’s images like this that get stamped indelibly on your mind.
