Conspiracy Bug

Dear Annie,

This week my mom discovered a video on the Internet. It is one where a bunch of kids put their cell phones around corn kernels. Then, their phones ring all at once, and the kernels suddenly pop. Voila! Popcorn! 

After viewing this horrifying video, she sent me an email. Note the concerned red ink:

Hi Lisa,

Did you see this?   Maybe we should rethink carrying cell phones in our pocket!!  We want to be sure you aren't sterile . . . . . .

Could these waves, be dangerous??  Try this with all your friends phones.  See if it really works.

MOM

My response:

Um, those are obvious actors.  =)  Read following article.

Her:

OK, but you have a GROUP of friends, why don't you try it with them.  Just take some popcorn to your next meal out, or to church, and try it OK???

Might be fun.

MOM

Me:

WHY??? ha ha. it is a JOKE. it doesn't really work!  

Her:

MAYBE,   TRY IT!!!!!    Ha Ha

Yes, that's right. My mother really thinks that a cell phone could pop corn. Once you put an idea in her head, there is no undoing it! 

Sigh.

Love,
