It is rare that either of my parents tell me that I should NOT do things. Heck….they tell me to “go for it” on every idea, thought and dream that I express!!!  My Mom shows NO FEAR…EVER!!!!

Today was different…..

I check on my folks regularly. They. Crack. Me. Up. I love them to pieces.

This morning my Mom told me to “please be careful“. I have heard this before, but this morning there was a sadness in her voice that broke me.  She said it again  “Regan…PLEASE be careful“.

What breaks my heart is that she isn’t saying “be careful” because I am headed overseas alone, or a safari adventure or bull riding lessons or taking gymnastics at 47….but because I am going to go get in my car and do my daily routine…..sad.

Me:  I get this thing EVERY OTHER YEAR.  Neither ONE of you EVER get called for Jury Duty

Dad:  We too old for Jury duty.

Mom:  Last time I was on Jury Duty, it was the Grand Jury.  We spent a day listening to various cases.  The next day they wanted us to make our decisions.  I told them, I forgot everything, we need to review them again.  Oooo the looks I got.  I haven’t been called since.

Dad:  Yeah…..you have to find our glasses, can you imagine me reviewing some Discovery….sooo.  Not me.

“This is too much!!! I just want a PLAIN cup of coffee, a FRIED pork chop and a slice of WHITE bread”

All I needed for her to do next is light a cigarette and ask for a glass of vodka with just a little ice.
