Backstory: this is what I received after telling my parents they were ridiculous (I missed two texts from my mother [within 10 minutes of each other] and then received a text from my father an hour later telling me to respond to my mother)
Well. We have two options here. I could be deeply offended and stop being concerned when I contact you and 8 hours later you haven’t found 1 spare minute to get back to me. OR I could ignore your umbridge and continue to care enough about your welfare to risk your anger and pester you until I get some sort of response that would let me know that you haven’t fallen in your apartment where you are alone, hit your head, and are laying unconscious and no one knows because you are not expected anywhere. Sorry for your luck to have a parent that worries.
LMAO! Too funny!!

My parents told me that they’d continue to check up on me and worry when I don’t respond immediately until they, “marry me off.”

my mom does this to me… except she isn’t worried about me falling and being unconscious. it’s more along the lines of “you don’t love me anymore or care about me.”
sigh.

I would have made your mom nuts. I just floated in and out, and of course, this was before 24/7 opportunities for communication (cell phones, email, etc.).
Still, very funny.

I had this “conversation” many times with my daughter! It is so good and comforting to know I am not the only one!

I take umbrage at the misspelling of “umbrage”.

haha I do too. I thought I was reading a freaking Harry Potter book there for a second (not that there’s anything wrong with that.

I actually did fall, hit my head and go unconscious the other night. Luckily I woke up on my own, but I can see why moms freak out about that kind of thing now!
