Call Mom
Yesterday I called Mom to tell her some good news. When she answered, she said, "I was just thinking about you. Glad you called. I was thinking about the time when we were in Huntsville (Alabama), and you walked off with Maggie" (our dog). She went on to say she had to worry about Johnny and Donny disappearing, so she was surprised when I disappeared. She said she found me at the end of the street with Maggie. The neighbor told Mom, "...Don't spank him, he was just out walking with his dog."
I had a good conversation with Mom yesterday. I hadn't heard that story before, and I was glad she told me. I guess I have always been the animal lover, even when I was in diapers.
