Many of those were used by my mother!The one that,I remember
most,was to always have phone call money,with me!I grew up in
Conn. & the drinking age in NY,was 18 then.I remember,calling my folks,at (approx)1:00AM one morning & saying "I'm at a bar,in
NY with my cousin.I'm too drunk to drive home.I'll be there,when I'm sober enough,to drive!"I was 17.I graduated at 17,so no school worries.At least,they knew that,I was alive. Irish
P.S.Favorite saying-"You don't trust me!"
