Surprise, Surprise

Yesterday, on the first day of Emma's first high school finals, this is the text exchange we shared:

Me: Are you in detention?
Emma: Yes
Me: Wow. How is it? Are they treating you well?
Emma: They have us chained to the desks, took our iPods, currently watching them burn
Me: Hide your phone! Do you need a ride once you run for freedom? I can be your get-away driver.
Emma: Pull up, cut the engine, act natural.
Me: I'll be in the wig and dark glasses. Don't call me by name.

Best Friends

My little stalker dog, Mimi, wouldn't actually cut me, I'm sure I could take the food out of her mouth if I tried. But otherwise, this is spot-on (pun intended):
