momquote:

my mother is probably one of the most unintentionally hilarious people I know...(and today is no exception)

I was talking to her on the phone this morning, when suddenly she gets cut off mid-sentence and hangs up on me.

...I wait for her to call back...

and her opening line:
"I'm so sorry! I don't know what happened... but I'm in the backyard, and somehow my phone got caught on my pitchfork."

yes: you heard that right....
pitchfork

(*i love my mother.)
