Yep I can see how anxiety levels would quickly rise as you keep guessing lower and lower while your child keeps saying you're getting warmer.

mine told me the number backwards one day and i turned over backwards... 581.............. really 185!

added some nice gray hairs!

I believe I once left my mom a message saying "Hi mom, ummm, I'm 29 and I thought you would like to know that. call me." I may or may not have answered my phone the first time she tried calling me I'm sure she was freaking out. I called her as soon as I soon I saw the missed call.

I haven't done any of those things, but I have:

Not woken up when she was shouting my name and shaking me (at about midday). I woke up a few minutes later to her struggling to check my sugar (she'd never had to do it before) and I was 110, so I'm not really sure what happened there, but I felt SO bad for scaring her!

Said: "Hi, I'm 34, by the way. But it's okay, I feel fine." She didn't reply for a few minutes and then she was like, "DID YOU JUST SAY 34!?" (At least I told her!)

Please don't tell me your meter says a word not a number, then tell me to guess which one...of course I guessed "hi" and he thought that was hysterical, so I assumed I was correct...he turned it around for me to see "lo" and he was still laughing!

Besides the few grey hairs I almost had a heart attack to go along with it!!!
