Mom on earthquake preparedness Mom: Hello? Me: I see you survived the earthquake. Mom: Oh my goodness, what a shaker. I didnt feel the first one, I was playing the piano. Me: Do you think that may have triggered it? Mom: I dont play THAT badly. Me: Looks like god has a different opinion. Mom: You may have a point. Of all the milk glass I have in the house (Mom has hundreds of milk glass pieces) only the religious artifacts fell over. The Blessed Mary fell in the sink. Me: See! Terry: (in the back ground) Maybe the next one will get all the milk glass. Me: (whispering to Terry) We could be so lucky. Mom: Im going to sleep with my clothes on. Me: Thats the spirit. But its better to keep a pair of shoes nearby if there is any broken glass...milk glass preferably...on the floor. Mom: You know what else Im going to do? Me: Check your flashlights and batteries? Mom: Im going to sleep with my shoes on. Me: Not turn the gas off? Mom: Ill loosen up the laces. Me: ...ah-- Mom: Im going to take my bra off, though. Me: After all, safety comes first.
