In the interest of safety

Mom: Hi, hun. What are you doing?

Me: Going to the post office.

Mom: Oh, good. Kill two birds with one stone while you’re there, okay?

Me: What? Do you need stamps or something?

Mom: No, I just mean look at the photos of the criminals on the wall and make sure you haven’t given any of them your phone number lately.

Me: Thanks, Mom.

Mom: What? I’m just saying, you never know. You can’t be too careful.

Me: Right. Okay.

Only because she cares.
