Prompt 15: I'm At A loss...
Me: Hello?
Her: Amy? This is *&%#. (My son’s best friend’s mother) I need to ask you an important question.
Me: Uh, okay.
Her: Do you know what &^% (her son) drinks when he’s at your house?
Me: uh oh. Am I about to get the “my son’s been drinking while at your house” accusation? God – do I really have a teenager now?
Well, I do get them a 2 liter of Brisk every Friday night. Occasionally they’ll come in with a Mountain Dew when they go to the store. He drinks chocolate milk and I have juice. Why do you ask?
Her: Because I just found an energy drink bottle in his room. Why would he bring that into my house? That stuff can kill him. I’m so pissed off right now I don’t think I’ll ever let him go out again.
Me: Uhh…
Her: Just listen to what’s in this stuff…ginger root, black tea, extract of guava. What the hell is guava? I think that’s a drug. Why would he do this? I keep Coca Cola in the house. We used to make sure it was always here but since I’m not working we have it at least a few times a week. This stuff can make your heart explode.
Me: Well, uhhhh…..
Her: Do you let your child drink this stuff?
Me: Ummm, well….
Her: Even my doctor said that like 10 of these can make you die. I can’t believe that Coca Cola – a totally family oriental company is now making this stuff. Do you believe in Coca Cola, Amy?
Me: Uhh, ummm…
Her: I’m just so pissed. Aren’t you pissed?
Me: Wow! ya know, I just realized that I’m in the shower, the baby’s in the car, the dog’s chasing the cat, supper’s on the stove, I was just on my way out, I have a doctor’s appointment, there’s been a family emergency and the fish just died. I gotta go. You take care though and I’ll make sure &^% doesn’t break any of the rules. See you later hun.
Her: Uhhh….
Me: *click*
*This was an actual telephone conversation that I had with her about 20 minutes ago. I just had to tell someone.

You didn't know that about energy drinks? You don't actually need ten to kill you if you combine three with two energy bars--it's a big teen suicide thing in California. Dozens keeling over in cafeterias....
Hey, admit and confess--you hated the week 15 prompts but you nailed this one, though it's true you had to do all the work.
Yeah, I just had to tell someone.
week 14 aren't working for me either yet.
How unsympathetic can I get? Pretty unsympathetic--those are quality john aaaaaaaaaa goldfine prompts.
