I once had this conversation with my mom:
Me: You always have you phone on!
Mom: I forgot to turn it on
Me: I was worrying and freaking out
Mom: Well, that's your problem; not mine. No news is good new.
Me: But I don't know- you could be dead. You could have choked, carbon monoxide, fire, murder...G-d knows!
Mom: And, is there anything you can do about that? or...if I was dead.
Me: No! But, I'd like to know and if you answered your phone (or at least had it on)- I would have known you are ok!
Mom: [my name], no news is good new.
Me: I heard you the first time
Mom: You worry too much and are paranoid
Me: Thanks, Captain Obvious. G-d forbid one day something happens and I can't get in touch with you and 'assume' all is fine because "no news is good news"...
