Classic Mom Voicemail

This voice message shows all the characteristics of a typical message from my mother:
1. she complains that i haven't returned her last message
2. guilt trip for making her stay awake till 11:30 to see if i call her back
3. she holds information hostage. *note* the last message (the one i didn't return last night) also had this cryptic message "call me about next saturday i don't want you to miss out" ... also note I talked to her earlier in the day yesterday so I'm not really a deadbeat child who never talks to their mom... though she might disagree.
4. while she doesn't leave me the information she thinks i really need to know she adds extra pointless details like "i just got back from taking christie". it doesn't matter how many times i explain that i have a job and to just leave me the information on the message she still continues to hold "important" details hostage so i am forced to call her.
i should add that 90% of the time the information held hostage is completely interesting to me and doesn't involve me.

** i should also add my brother got a similar voicemail. he figured out the "important message" is that there is a bike tour in arrowhead and since my brother and i own bikes we obviously must either want to go watch people ride bikes or maybe take our bikes up there to ride them because god knows there is nowhere down here in LA where we could possibly ride our bikes.
