I can't stop laughing about this, so obviously - it's not REAL trouble she's in. 
Her and my dad began a 7-night, Western Caribbean cruise today. The cruise was due to depart at 4pm, so I was surprised when my cell rang at 515pm.
I was working, but was mildly alarmed to see the call come in after they were to have departed. I answered it.
Me: "Mom? Where are you?"
Mom: "What? Oh..on the ship!"
Me: "What's wrong? Is it late departing?"
Mom: "No, it left on time."
Me: ....
Mom: ....
*hears speaking in background*
Mom: (to voice in background) "Oh, for Chrissakes. It is not!"
Me:
Mom: (to me) "This isn't an international call yet, is it?"
Me: "How would I know? How far out are you?"
*At this point, I knew they couldn't be far because the ship had just left a bit over an hour prior.*
Mom: (heavy, put-upon sigh) "I have to go. Your FATHER (emphasis hers)caught me and is making me hang up. He says we'll pay expensive fees."
Me: (supressing laughter) "Did you want anything in particular?"
Her: "No. I have to go now. He's having a fit!"
*click*
They're hilarious. They've truly become 'the Bickersons' in their old age. It sounded like two little kids squabbling over the telephone.
Also, earlier in the week she said, "Seven days trapped on a boat (yes, she used the word BOAT) with your father. If you hear about someone on the news falling overboard, it WASN'T an accident. I jumped!"
*sigh* Keep an ear out on those news channels, ya'll.
