Remember how Jorge and I went out to a bar this weekend? Well I was super tired and left early around 2 am. Jorge walked me out to get a cab and told me “Don’t forget to call me when you get home so I know you got back ok!”
Well… I forgot.
I probably forgot because I was busy keeping the dogs from slamming into the back of my knee and causing me to collapse on the tile floor (happens a lot when I walk into the house).
Then I went straight to sleep (and by “sleep”, I mean read Hunger Games in the middle of the night) and turned the sound off on my cell phone so I could sleep in the next morning without interruptions.
Aaaand Jorge called me 10 times.
Finally around 3:30 a.m. I noticed my cell phone was lighting up, so I answered. Jorge told me he had been calling me non-stop and was really worried for my safety. How sweet!
OH. WAIT.
If he was so concerned about me being assaulted by a taxi driver and/or home intruder, why did he not come check on me after AN HOUR AND A HALF of not answering my phone?
I mean… I would have felt bad that he had to cut his night short because I forgot to call him when I got home… but still!
Then today my cell phone dies at the office (grrr). I just get an e-mail from him saying, “When you didn’t answer my calls today, I was worried you were kidnapped by a taxi driver.”
And yet he never showed up at my office to check on my safety.
I mean… I would have felt horrible that he had to take a bus to my office to check on my safety because my cell phone died… but still!
And this is exactly why I shouldn’t be trusted with a cell phone.
**Update:** I just confronted Jorge on this via e-mail, and his response was “Well if you’re kidnapped by a taxi driver what can I do? It’s not like you’ll be at home when I get there to rescue you.”
Touche.

hahaha. his last comment is funny =)
Just like a MAN ….
Sometimes I take out the dog really late at night and I always tell Dan “if I’m not back in 5 minutes, call the police,” but he would never. He’d probably realize 3 hours later that I was still gone, then maybe call me once. Boys are ridiculous. I actually had a friend over the other night for some vino and apparently her boyfriend called a bunch of times and we didn’t hear her phone. He actually showed up at like 11:15pm to see if she was okay! I was shocked!
Glad you’re alive
Oh my gosh, I’m totally laughing out loud. Love the touche at the end.
LOL! Jorge is hilarious. I love the touche. He is indeed a typical man.
Thanks for making me laugh. And I’m really glad you weren’t kidnapped by a taxi driver.
He has a wild imagination like I do. Do people get kidnapped by taxi drivers often?
haha…I love it! The same thing would happen at our house!!
Good response, Jorge! LOL. Men are funny.
