Emergency Phone Call

Mom called me while I was in class this morning. My phone was on silent, but I still heard it buzzing in the middle of class, and I'm pretty sure people around me could hear it, too.

I found out a little later that she was calling me to tell me that Neil Gaiman won the Newbery Award for The Graveyard Book.

I told her, "Don't call me when I'm in class unless it's an emergency!"

Her response? "It was!"
