I embarrassed my mother today.

A little back story first. Two weeks ago Mom went on a trip to visit her relatives in Montana, and bought a cell phone just in case of an emergency. Everything went fine, except she lost the phone when she came back.

Okay, fast forward to today. I’m helping Mom get groceries, and I’m pushing the cart out to the car. As I get closer, I notice a cord hanging down from the front bumper. And there, wedged in the bumper, was a leather carrying case.

“Hey Mom,” I said. “I found your phone.”

She turned bright red.

Of course, we both got a good laugh out of it (she didn’t start laughing until WAY after I did, though). That phone had been to work and back for two weeks, not counting weekend trips, and somehow it never fell out . . . on the drive to the supermarket it got rained on . . . AND no one walked off with it! I’m still amazed someone didn’t steal it.

And it works fine!
