LIFE IS A TAD ODD AT TIMES

Moments ago a phone call came in and my mom answered and as per usuelle upon hearing unusual noises on the line and since after saying hello no one answered, she yelled to my end of the house do you have anything on in there there is something wrong with the phone. Anytime anything funky happens with phone and she answers she always thinks its something to do with the zany computer world in here where I do what she dares not to consider (sarcasm) Well, she is 75 so much is forgiven. But she asked me to pick up the phone and when I was a puzzled by the noises as she was plus then a female answered twice saying hello back at me. I had I know to have been a rather quizical look on my face and when I started to tell her about what I heard and didn't get to finish. She interrupted me with "Don't be arrogant" at which point I was even more confused adding a presumably funny look with " what do you mean arrogant" when upon hearing that much she walked off. Now 1. I get a little tired of always having my computer system blamed for all the peculiarities that happen on the line in this modern age. 2. I don't understand why I was accused of being arrogant. 3. If so without hearing the rest of what I heard on the phone and a subsequent call that I answered that was even stranger ( I won't bore you with the details.... although come to think of it this entire entry could be somewhat boring to someone) She never wanted to know more about the second call or anything more..... I am I that rude? perhaps I am. But I do get tired of something my mother has done ever since I was old enough to notice... in fact I have had to ward off the same trait in myself and have since learned to reduce my doing it substantially. But why hasn't she ??? I mean there was a time when she wasn't 75 in fact 20 years ago I was 23 and she was 55 and was doing it then nothing has changed. Hasn't she ever run into the difficulties I have in jumping to conclusions or perhaps since she only is honest enough and open enough to be so bold with anyone but family,...perhaps not. run ins with your kin folk are usually not embarrasing or emotionally quite as taxing as those with closer friends or potential mates, dates, employers,....no need to add to that list.. Well, my mom did have a time when she worked nigh on to about 45 or 50 years ago and she had only 1 child to raise namely me. So perhaps these type events were never there to grip at the learning curve. and shorten it enough for memory to be of value. should publish if I don't want this thing lost ....learning curve in action!!
