Mom: So I'll be taking and uber there and back. I might not get home until midnight. Since [my sister] will have her phone off for the holiday and [my brother] will be traveling to Florida for the holiday so I'll call or text you to let you know I got home safely.
Me (living across a literal continent): Uh, you realize I don't always answer the phone, right?
There are things about her I will never, ever understand. The compulsion to call people before/after she gets on airplanes and this sort of thing is one of them. What does she think I'm going to do if she doesn't call or text? Start calling every ER on the route between her starting point and home? Does she think if she says this she puts out good vibes into the universe of safely getting home? Is it a generational thing? Am I too young to understand this? (these are mostly rhetorical questions)
