Me, my mother, and the mystery of the missing mobile.

June 15th, 2006 by jadeite

See, all those M’s?  I like M’s.  M&Ms.  Mmmm.

But I digress.  This morning I opened my handbag at work and realized, whoops, no handphone.  I must’ve left it at home.  Well then.  I call my mother to look for my phone and bring it down when she comes to this area later this afternoon.

The conversation goes a little something like this (every === denotes a new phone call):

Me: Mom, I left my phone at home, can you look for it and bring it down later? Yay. Thanks.
Mom: OK.

===

Mom: I called your phone. It rang and then someone hung up!
Me: Ohmygawd are you serious shit shit shit.
Mom: Where did you leave your phone?!  On the bus? Train?
Me: WAILS! I DON’T EVEN REMEMBER TAKING IT OUT OF THE HOUSE but I remember taking it off the charger so it must be at home!
Mom: But I called twice. The second time I called, it’s engaged. You’re screwed. YOUR PHONE IS LOST.

===

I start cussing out the asshat who has stolen my phone.  I hate the world.  I call my phone in a fit of panic.  It rings!!  I hang up and call my mother back.  I’m convinced she’s got my phone and is playing with me.

===

Me: ARE YOU PLAYING TRICKS WITH ME MOM CUZ IT’S NOT FREAKING FUNNY!
Mom: What?? *SMACK* I HAVE NO TIME TO PLAY TRICKS WITH YOU. I DON’T KNOW WHERE YOUR PHONE IS.
Me: *whimper* But but my phone rang. 
Mom: I’m sure you’ve lost it outside.  I don’t hear any ring tone, is it on silent mode?
Me: No.  Crap.  Can you check my room?
Mom: Okay, I see your laptop. Your table. Your table is a huge mess MAYBE IF YOU CLEANED YOUR ROOM YOU WOULDN’T LOSE YOUR PHONE IN YOUR OWN ROOM.
Me: asdfjskklhasdfaywg!!!!
Mom: I don’t see your phone anywhere. 
Me: I’m sure it’s at home.  Please please keep looking.  I’ll keep calling my phone and call you back.

===

I call my phone multiple times and listen to the soothing sound of the dialtone.

I call my mother back.

===

Me: Oh please God please tell me you found it.
Mom: HAHAHA I JUST FOUND IT - IN YOUR CUPBOARD.  You must have been so happy picking out earrings to wear to work that you closed your cupboard with your phone inside HAHAHAHAHAA.
Me: *wilts in relief* Okay thanks, mom.
Mom: I CAN’T BELIEVE I JUST SPENT FIFTEEN MINUTES GOING THROUGH YOUR WHOLE GERM-INFESTED ROOM TO FIND YOUR PHONE THAT YOU LEFT IN YOUR CUPBOARD BECAUSE YOUR EARRINGS WERE MORE IMPORTANT.
Me: Er, teehee, okay, bye now!
