My mother called me today. She informs me in the annoyingly sing-song voice that my checking account is overdrawn. I was not too pleased about that. "The same account that you told me had $1200 in it?" She said, "Nooo...I didn't say THAT. I said that at the time of your last statement you had $650 and that I added $570 so that is what you SHOULD have."
**note/question: How is this different?**
So she starts going through the checks that have been paid, but that contributed to the 'withdrawn' state my checking account is apparently in. "There is your rent check...and the sixty dollar check I gave to Daniel for fixing your computer."
"Whoa, whoa, WHOA! You gave sixty dollars to Daniel from my account for doing something I could have done for free if I had sent it in?"
"Well, why didn't you send it in?"
"Because Dan VOLUNTEERED to do it and he was right there!"
We ended the conversation like this...
"Ok, mom...I didn't spend that much money. There is no way."
"Well...what do you want me to do? Send you the bank statements?"
"YES! That would be good."
"All of them?"
"YES!!!!!!!!!"
"OK."
"Right. OK, Mom...I'm going to hang up now because speaking with you is really annoying me."
So we hung up...and I proceeded to strangle the phone.
