Cosmic retribution strikes again :((

Last Saturday, while driving to Strasbourg....
S: Did you carry your mobile?, I left mine at home [Now, this is a very rare event with us, probably a first ever. S *always* has his phone with him, whereas my phone and I are usually not at the same place at the same time]
S: Your parents might call, we didn't call them yesterday
Me: Yes I did, though its not likely that my parents will call...

S: Why not?

Me: They usually call me on the landline or on your mobile, if I'm not online...

S: Why not on your mobile?

Me: Ummm...I don't think they know my new number...I ummm think I forgot to give it to them....

S :!!!???!!??!!!

Me (feeling very guilty): It wasn't intentional, I just didn't get around to it...you know how I am with phones [There was a time when I used to accidentally give dear friend R's number to people who asked for mine, simply because I knew that number better than mine]

S: You are lucky that your parents still love you!!!


Later that evening my phone starts emitting its 'low battery' sound. S and I are watching a movie, and the phone is my bag.

S: Sounds like your phone needs to be charged...

Me: (In no mood to get off the couch) Yes I will, after the movie...

I put the bag away that night, forgetting again to charge the phone. It was Monday morning when I finally got around to it. A thought briefly ran through my head that I hadn't heard the 'charge me' sounds all night or on Sunday for that matter. And then when I took it out of my bag, there was a large inexplicable crack on the screen!! I tried switching it on, only to find that it was dead for good :( The bag didn't have too much stuff in it, so I couldn't help thinking that this has to be punishment for Saturday's statements :( S was nice enough not to say 'Serves you right', atleast out loud. Sigh....hopefully I've learnt my lesson...
