the Dalaverse

My mother just called from the grocery store -- from a payphone -- and left a message going something like this: "We're having steaks and mash potatoes tonight for dinner, I thought I'd call and see what you all needed from the store, but I guess you can't tell me now, sorry."

::shakes head::

I mean, a PAYPHONE, ferchristsakes.

I can't call her back on a payphone, as she so duly noted.

A FREAKING PAYPHONE.
