You know what is the opposite of awesome? I'll tell you what the opposite of awesome is.
When your away at college child calls and says "Now, Mom, don't freak out" the minute you answer the phone.

Beyond the opposite, actually. So far from awesome it's unreal.

7. At least it wasn't followed by, "I got arrested"
Yep, my mom thinks I'm the bad one, even though my sister is the one who invented "40 hands."

11. If you mean, duct-taping a 40 to each hand and seeing who can finish them first, then yes

15. I did that to my mom too
First semester in college and I got slammed with a nasty case of strep. As the nurse at the clinic dialed my mom's phone number, she informed me that I had 'type A' strep and it would go straight to my heart if I didn't get the medicine right away. Then she shoved the phone in my hand so when I heard mom's voice, I broke down. Poor mom was terrified and couldn't understand a word I was saying.

It's funny now though. :D
