The Postcards for Mom Pranksters

Well I experienced what could be considered a major project setback yesterday. Mom called from her house. She lives out in the 'boonies' and is testing out a new cell phone from Sprint. We were out for dinner so she called my wife's cell phone.

After speaking with my wife for a few minutes, she talks with me. When talking with my wife, my wife was saying things like yeah, it sounds good, and yeah, its real clear. I knew Mom would be testing out a new cell ph so I figured out what was the purpose of the phone call. Then the phone is handed to me:

Me:
   Mom? hello? (ignoring Mom) hello?
   (to my wife, where my mom can hear) Did you say mom was on the line? i don't hear her.
   Mom? Hello?
Mom:
   William stop being a brat!
Me:
   Huh? I gotta be a brat, Mom.
Mom:
   Like all the mail isn't enough that you gotta do this too?
Me:
   Umm... the mail is not my doing, mom.
Mom:
   Yeah, right.

Crap.

Now, it could have been a setup to get me to admit something.

Friday, Mom came down to go to our daughters Spring Concert, and she mentioned that she had 'received several things from Florida', including an entire newspaper. Of course, I mentioned that my brother was in FL last week...

So for now I think we're ok. Maybe.
