A new category – Strange phone calls from mom.
so the other day, my cell phone rings, and it isn’t a number programmed in my phone which isn’t a big surprise because i am terrible about keeping my contacts updated. i answer it and it is my mom, i have a moment of concern because i know she was with my dad at a dr. appointment this morning.
Now, she has a cell phone, it can take pictures and texts but it isn’t a smart phone. so here is how it goes… (mind you she is in Missouri, and I am in California)
Mom: I need directions to <something> farms in Campbell from Poplar Bluff
Me: you need what?!
Mom: directions to bader/vader (I couldn’t tell which she was saying) farms from Poplar Bluff, I need to know the best way.
Me: Umm OK… (opens google maps) what is it again? vader farms?
Mom: no, Bader… Bob – andy-dog- edgar- roger
Me 🙁 googling)
Me: ahh OK, well the best way is to take blah blah highway
Mom: OK that is what I told your dad but he didn’t believe me
Me: WHY are we going to this farm?
Mom: oh, I need some peaches.
Apparently Bader Farms has peaches worth driving MILES for
Bader Peach Farms Inc. Campbell, MO. – where every day is just peachy!
