When the tsunami hit Sri Lanka a couple months ago...
Me: We're only a few blocks from the beach.
Brent: And?
Me: If a tsunami hit the California coast, we're at risk, aren't we?
Brent: No, we're too far from the ocean and we're uphill.
Me: But that Sri Lanka tsunami went inland really far.
Brent: I promise, it can't happen.
Fast forward to tonight. Brent arrives home...
Brent: Don't panic.
Me: Huh?
Brent: Don't panic!
Me: Why would I panic?
Brent: You haven't heard? There's a tsunami warning...for the California coast. You haven't seen a warning on tv or anything?
Me: What?!?! No, I'm watching a recorded program on TiVo. Damn you! (while laughing) You promised this wouldn't happen.
Brent: Um...

Um, yeah. Got a FRANTIC call from my mom tonight warning us all to head for the hills b/c of the tsunami. Was it wrong that I laughed my ass off? Probably didn't help that by the time she called, I had three glasses of wine.
ReplyDeleteAnd then, five minutes later? They canceled the tsunami. Pure comedy. For a milli-second, I thought I might have to reschedule my wedding b/c of a freakin' tidal wave!
LOL!!! sorry to be laughing... but LOVE that Damn You line!
ReplyDeleteHey, I was never worried! :) My brother called down here to LA from San Francisco...but I figured we'd all be ok. Especially since I'm a Valley girl! Hi there, got here through the comments section over at Mrs. Mogul. I love finding fellow LA bloggers...I don't know why. :) I see you also know Xtessa...yeah, she bugs me at my blog too! AHAHAHAHAHA J/K honey! Anyway, I wanted to stop by and say hi! I'll be back again!

ReplyDeleteThat quote is one of my all-time favorites. Regarding a tsunami, true Californians don't worry, we look forward to surfing it.
ReplyDeleteLMAO, that is funny/cute...thank goodness it was a false alarm for y'all
ReplyDeleteThat's really funny. Glad it didn't really happen!
ReplyDeleteoh my god. i freaked. we got a call from our friend in sf to tell us. i had a bag packed all night.
ReplyDeleteSee, this is why I don't live in California. But seriously, glad all is well.
ReplyDeleteI didn't hear the warning either.. Hehe. I guess I was the only one not frantic, and i'd also be dead if there was one :/
ReplyDeleteI once saw a documentary on how a tsumami can hit California and its scary. The west coast is falling you know..
ReplyDeleteAren't you glad that your worrying wasn't for nothing? Now you had a real earthquake in LA today.
