Conversation of the Week

Conversation of the Week:

(my landline ringing)

Me: Hello?
Mom: Hi, Katherine?
Me: Hey Mom, whats up?
Mom: Katherine, where are you?
Me: Im at my house (thinking, you called me on a landline)
Mom: Katherine, I have something to tell you. I need you to listen carefully. Paul told me there is a new carjacking scam-
Me: Paul? Paul at the office?
Mom: What? Yes. Anyway, Paul told me that there have been 10 or 12 attacks this way and I need you to pay attention- are you paying attention?
Me: mmm-hmmm
Mom: Well, what happens is they put a piece of paper in your back windshield. Then you get into your car, but you see the piece of paper and get out to pull it out of your line of vision and they get you!
Me: What?
Mom: Im being serious, Katherine, stop laughing. This is serious. They could really hurt you. But dont worry, Im going to tell you what to do.
Me: Okay
Mom: Be very careful walking to your car- theyre targeting female drivers. And if you see a piece of paper in the back windshield, run like hell.
Me: Thats your advice? Run like hell? Is that the official word?
Mom: Katherine, this is my word. Im telling you to not get carjacked.
Me: Thanks, Mom.

And that was essentially our whole conversation. Seriously.
