A True Story From the Cell Phone Generation
Day 1:
"Hello."
"Mom, where are you?"
"I am turning the corner. Can you see me now?"
"O.k."
Day 2:
"Hello."
"Mom, are you coming?"
"I am in the parking lot behind the Mini-Cooper in my big blue van!"
"Oh!"
Day 3:
"Yes! I am here. Put the phone down and back away from it!"
"Oh I see you. You are turning into the parking lot."
Day 4:
"Hi mom. I am in the middle of soccer practice. Why are you calling me?""
"I have called to sat stop calling me to pick you up, I'm on my way. I am here to get you like I do everyday at the same time from practice. Sometimes there is more traffic, sometimes less. The other day your brother came out with 1 shoe on so I sent him back in to get the other one. I was 30 seconds late. The next day, I was early but stopped to talk with another mom in the parking lot. You could see me! And there was the one time that I was 2 minutes late because I stopped to let the mom goose & her babies cross the street."
"But I am here. You are there with your cell phone. Put it down. Have a little FAITH that I am coming like I do everyday."
