Mid-Sleep Crisis

(I am home sick from work. My mom and I both work at the same school. I am half asleep when my mom calls me.)

Mom: “Hey, did you print out a ‘Crisis of Employment’ form?”

Me: *groggy* “What? No.”

Mom: “I’ll bring it home then.”

(I hang up and go back to sleep. When I wake up, I have a raging headache, and I panic because of the term ‘Crisis of Employment’, which does not sound good. I text my mom back.)

Me: “What is a ‘Crisis of Employment’ form? Am I in trouble?”

Mom: “I don’t know what that is.”

Me: “You said I had a ‘Crisis of Employment’ form!”

Mom: “I said CLASSIFIED EMPLOYMENT APPLICATION. You know, for job searching!”

Me: “Oh… well, frigging headache!”
