my mother is a trickster

my mother has a field of maternal tricks up her sleeve. always. i remember going to pre-school and wailing like a banchee when she left. to calm me, she left her purse with me so that i know she would return soon and that she isn't leaving the building. cute huh? was until i grew up and learned she took her keys and wallet out of the purse and left me high and dry.
today i get a voicemail from her that says "i just got your message so i'm calling you back. call me back at your earliest conveinance" this time she didn't leave our phone number (i swear she did like a month ago, it was hysterical), but the funny thing is i didn't call her in the first place. so i call her up to explain that it wasn't i that left the message, and i learned instantly that it was a trap to get me to call her.
and i fall for them all the time
