Mom hung up on me and is now demanding I call her

[Dragonfly]

There is no such thing as a Potato Chip Emergency!

Lol - there is now! 

I'm going to steal that phrase for all the situations my mom cooks up that require us to come running, then find out there was no emergency - she just needed some drama & attention.

I like this - and can relate. My mother will do the same....even when i am at work. I have adopted the same & turn off the phone temporarily. It's very jarring.
