I picked it up. Someone on the other end started singing the Adele song, Hello. That someone sounded strangely familiar.
It was my daughter.
"Uh, girlfriend," I said. "Aren't you upstairs in your room?"
"Yes," she said.
"And you're calling me on your cell phone instead of walking downstairs to talk to me?"
"Yes. I'm on the other side. And I'd like to know what you're making for lunch."
I shook my head. "Well, I guess you're going to have to walk the million miles that are between us to find out!"
Oy!
For those who haven't heard enough of Hello, here it is:
At least she bothered to call instead of text you. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's only because I don't text. :-)
DeleteReminds me of the commercial where a boy calls his grandmother in the other room. Really? Get up and move, kids!
ReplyDeleteAnd true, she could have texted...
So much laziness these days!
Delete*LOL* My son just shouts from the other room!
ReplyDeleteThat works.
DeleteI love Adele... I have to say I'm guilty of texting my daughter in the other room. Not because I don't want to get up but I definitely don't want to yell over and over... she wears her big headphones xox... ♡
ReplyDeleteIt's a little hard to communicate when headphones are involved.
DeleteI've long ago grown sick of the song :) Way way too much of it everywhere
ReplyDeleteAdele has a great voice, and I think it's a good song, but I agree that it has been overplayed.
DeleteA great daughter you have Sherry and so thoughful to phone you...lol
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
:-)
DeleteHi, Sherry!
ReplyDeleteWhen she asked what you're making for lunch you should have sung the Weird Al song "My Bologna." :)
It's when they stop communicating with you entirely that you need to start worrying. :)
Yes. I'm glad she's communicating!
Deletelol well at least she is talking to you
ReplyDeleteYes!
DeleteHa! My son and his wife text back and forth when one is upstairs and the other down:)
ReplyDeleteThat seems so silly!
DeleteMy cousins used to have intercoms in their house. Now who needs intercoms? We've all got cell phones.
ReplyDeleteExactly. Intercoms are so last century. ;-)
DeleteWe text a lot in our house!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and daughter text a lot. I don't text at all.
DeleteSometimes I'm lazy and I call or text when someone is on the same floor, house, or building as me.
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of people do that.
DeleteCute! My husband used to text me while sitting on the couch right next to me. The kids just yell.
ReplyDeleteI often watch my daughter and her friends do that. (Text)
DeleteSo many people text or email or even sometimes call these days--but you got sung to. Pretty special. ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha! I'd say so!
DeleteTHAT is FUNNY. Your daughter has a good sense of humor! (My hubby and I used to IM each other when our offices were right next to each other, lol) The song is beautiful, too!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter certainly does have a good sense of humor.
DeleteSuch a cute funny story, Sherry!
