Honey, i have been thinking about your trip to New York tomorrow and I am worried about your wedding ring. I think you should leave it at home. You know there are criminals up there who may see your ring while you are walking around and try to steal it. They will do anything to get what they want – if they can’t pull it off easily, they may try to cut off your finger or your hand to get it. They’ll cut it right off without thinking twice!!!! Don’t forget you need your left hand to type at work. I don’t think it’s worth the risk.
Call me when you land.
xoxo, mom

I love “Don’t forget you need your left hand to type at work.” As if you wouldn’t miss your hand otherwise.

Wow, is she talking about anywhere in New York? Sounds like a really dangerous place.

I think she’s getting New York confused with Mount Doom.

I’m pretty sure New York hasn’t been this way since the early 90s. But that’s cute that the rest of the country percieves us thus… what does mama think the women in this city do with their jewelry?

I was just in NYC for the first time this past weekend. I felt much safer there than I did when I stepped off the bus back here in Baltimore!

This is why so many New Yorkers have affairs – they can’t wear their wedding rings in public, do to the high rate of finger-cutting criminals.
