Dawn Is Me

Mama, I just killed a man

by Me on Mar.21, 2006, under WTF?

From the Pinch me … or Don’t column in the WorldWIT newsletter, Thinking Aloud … this was just too good not to share:

I had a gap in my employment record and the HR professional who was interviewing me for a new job asked about it. I replied that I had moved from another state to take care of my terminally ill mother and had left the work force entirely to be with her during her last few months. I told him that she was deceased and added that the estate was settled, the house was sold, and that I was eager to get back to my career. He looked me straight in the eye and asked, “How do we know that it will not happen again?”
Hmm….

I wonder if she managed to answer that question with a straight face? I’m reasonably certain I wouldn’t have been able to.

    LMFAO that is f**king hilarious!!! I would of said something like, “Yea, if my mom happens to come back from the dead only to become terminally ill again, then yea, I’d leave again.” LOL
