Catching up (amusing): In which The Mango is Arrested

[rogueeditor]

1st week after The Mango's visit here (late Aug/early Sept)

No shit, there I was (all river guide's stories begin that way)...

3:23am, and my phone rings. Caller ID shows The Mango's number, and I fumble blearily to answer, as I'm realizing it's 4:23 where he is, and what the HELL has happened?

Me: 'lo?

Mango: (in a chipper tone) Do you have *any*

Good thing he has a sense of humour. :D

That he does - and a very wry, dry one it is.

I lol'd. But I am glad you said it was a funny story up front: I was looking for the punchline more that I was worrying while reading.

Heh - I wish my caller ID had been similarly tagged. It was one of those classic parenting moments where you really are caught between equally strong, diametrically opposed feelings.

ROFL! Nice conversational opener there at oh-dark-thirty, Mango....

Shoulda left that boy in a snowbank somewhere YEARS ago.
