Playing With Fire
(My stepmom is on the phone, and I can’t get her attention to tell her the pan is on fire. I have also just been told not to talk so loudly so I’ve been speaking in monotone.)
Me: “Mom.”
Mom: *on the phone* “…no she’s doing fine…”
Me: “Mom.”
Mom: *on the phone* “…she’ll be walking soon…”
Me: “Mom.”
Mom: *into the phone* “Just a second…” *to me* “I’m on the phone.”
Me: *points calmly behind her* “Fire.”
Mom: *screams*
(To this day, if a family member needs her attention, they say ‘fire’ in monotone.)
