Yikes! What a story. With all of us having cell phones, we've talked about ditching our land line, except for the need for 911.
A friend was telling us just the other night that when her daughter was in 1st grade (she's 14 now), the daughter broke her leg at school. School called the mom and said "would you like to come get her?"
Mom said "NO [you idiots] call 911 and I'll meet them at the hospital." The school couldn't process why it was stupid to think Mom should try to transport a kid with a broken leg. Not to mention that it would take twice the time.
Well, we transported me to the hospital the two times I broke my arm, but (1) I was still mobile, it was an arm. and (2) it wasn't icy out.
Sounds like a bad deal for those folks - now they're both laid up. Aw geeze!
Good morning everyone! We' going to overseed grass seed today in the front... I have declared it to be spring.
