Halluciations

It's 10:10 in the evening and my mother just called me in a panic. She thought she had been left alone at the church and none of the phones were working. She was talking to me on a phone - not sure whether she understood that she couldn't have called me if the phone wasn't working.

She no longer drives, nor does she have a car, so I asked her what was she was doing at the church this time of night and who left her there. I was pretty sure that she was at home and had been hallucinating again. This doesn't happen every week, but she become disoriented frequently and calls me or one of her friends with strange requests or comments. 

She begged me to come get her, so I played along and asked exactly where in the church she was. She left the phone to check and I could hear her pitter pattering around her condo. She got on and off the phone about three times before coming to her senses and realizing that she really was at home. She said good night and that she would call me tomorrow.

Well at least she didn't call one of her friends and upset them this time of night.
