Things Your Mom Said You’d Understand One Day, And Now You Do - Page 5
“Call me if you’ll be out late”
I never understood why my mom got so worked up if I didn’t get in touch for a while as a young adult or older teen. She would be in hysterics if I didn’t call her for a full week when I was in college. She’d say she thought I was dead or kidnapped. I thought she was being dramatic and overreacting. I would tell her that, too, offering no apologies or sympathy. Now, while I don’t have kids, I know how I panic if my husband goes on a trip and doesn’t call for one full day. I’m fuming. I think of the worst-case scenarios. I become certain he could be dead. And I feel so bad that I put my mother through that.
