I was startled awake when Mom’s cell phone rang. For a second or two I had forgot that the previous night I had snuck Mom’s cell phone out of her purse and had hid it beneath one of my bed pillows. Fearing that I wouldn’t hear it ring from under the pillow, I had turned the volume up to its maximum setting. However, while I slept, it had come out from under the pillow and was lying unobstructed and only inches from my ear. I fumbled with the phone while attempting to answer it and dropped it on the floor with a clatter. I was hanging head first off the side of the bed to retrieve it and placed it to my ear.
