Your Mom rocks! I spent 6 hours waiting for the parade in DC and our main source of entertainment was talking about all of the possible terrorist attack scenarios.

Dear heavens, I’m from the backwoods state of Idaho and I’m not that paranoid.

Your mom has a point. She is pretty funny.

HA! Moms are so funny! Mine suffered an aortic anyrism (sp?) and was hauled away on a Life flight heliocopter. All she said was “Does anyone have a camera?” (mom is fine btw)

The mental image of writing that quote on your arm for later blogging, is priceless! And your mom’s response almost has me in tears!

Hehheh. People never appreciate a prepared friend until they need one. Now honestly Kris, something she was lugging came in handy in those 847 blocks, didn’t it?

I’m confused. Did you go to the Mall? Also: this is hilarious. My favorite part is the Weight Watchers cookies. And the cigarettes.

Y’all could have been part of the group stuckin the Third Street tunnel. Then who’d be laughing…well, it’d have been you, of course, after you stole her survival kit. Bwaaaahhaaaaaa.

I love that NONE of it was weird until the glow stick.

Your mom gives sage advice.

I particularly like that she had insect repellent. In January. She clearly expected the aftermath would last for some time.

Sounds like your friend would eat you first, if it came right down to it.

Really, did she have a mask for you?

This sounds completely rational. Especially now that Jack Bauer is in town. He helped LA get nuked last year you know.

And the DC police don’t shoot people. That’s why they carry the pepper spray. Do NOT ask them to season your salad though. They have no sense of humor.

I can see past the glow stick but don’t get the V8. V8, really? Ew.

She didn’t bring a mask for you? Some friend ….

Maybe we should introduce this friend to my husband.

i’m wondering how your refrigerator reacted to having so much food placed in it…

That’s intense. I mean, if one is that terrified of a 3rd world war commencing at the inauguration, why would she want to go at all? The foodstuff is just good sense, but if you’re planning for death and destruction, there should be something telling you not to do it. It’s like rollerblading–people put on helmets, knee pads, and hand pads instead of saying, “If there’s this much risk in doing this activity, there’s a good chance I shouldn’t be doing it.”
