Never Home

A Change Is Gonna Come
kidhaggard: My mom used to keep a whistle by the phone. It looked just like the one pictured above, but was on a huge metal loop. If a telemarketer called during dinner, she’d ask who they were calling from, and then tell them not to call back again. If it was one she’d already told not to call, she’d grab the whistle, put it up to the mic and blow into it as hard as she could. It never struck me as strange back then, it was just Mom raging at a telemarketer. I thought about it for the first time in probably 15 years today and burst out laughing. damn, mom my mom used to do the exact same thing… weird.
