Never A Dull Moment

Tweet

Let me give you just a little bit of background so that we will all be on the same page here for this little tale. My mother is working for the company I work for as the cleaning lady. It is a side gig. They pay her pretty well, it does not take long to clean the office, and she likes the extra money. The office is in Illinois. I am currently in Wisconsin on business. One of my co-workers is traveling in Chicago. A text comes over my phone which is addressed to all of us in the office (there are 4 of us) to let us know that our alarm system has gone off and the police have been called are on the way. My co-worker who is in Chicago calls me (the other two must not have seen their phones yet) and asks if I can go to the office and see what is going on with the alarm. "I am still in Wisconsin." It clicks and he feels stupid. BUT, I put two and two together and figure my mother must have went to the office to clean. Sure enough. I tell her, shut the door and hit the reset button until a light blinks, and then type in the code to reset the system. "Should I be inside or outside when I do this?" "Mother, the keypad is inside I suggest you be inside if you want to type in the code." She shuts the door and types the code and the system resets but the police still show up. I have no idea what she did. But either way, I swear, there is never a dull moment with my mother.
