Vegas Report OR Just when you think they don't know...

Well, this isn't really a report of me going to this casino and playing that game. I did all that, but I wouldn't guess anyone would care.
This is more about 2 weeks later (today).
But first, neccesary background info: I'm 20. My parents don't mind too much that I play poker, but I really didn't think they would approve of me going to Vegas underage, especially during the summer "when I should have a job."
Well, I went, didn't tell them, came back, got on with my life.

Until tonight...
A couple of hours ago, I was sitting with my girlfriend at Subway, eating my Foot Long Italian BMT, when I get a call from my mother. This isn't anything to worry about, since she calls everyone once in a while for some harmless reason.
Here is our conversation:
"Hi, mom"
"Hi Mike. Your cell phone bill is $400 for last month."
"..." <me thinking: damn, did I go over in minutes? I did use my phone a lot in Vegas, but I've never even come close to using all my minutes.>
"It says you were roaming in Las Vegas"
"..."
"Did you go to Las Vegas?"
"No. How could I? I'm not 21 yet."
"I don't know."
"So, maybe this was identity theft or something?"
"I don't know"
"OK. I'll call cingular tommorow and tell them you didn't make these calls."
"OK. Bye"

Wow. I'm screwed.
Anyways, I soon realized the jig was up, so I call my mother back, told her the truth, and told her that I'd pay the roaming charges.

Some parents think that their underage kids should not be violating laws. I know, silly parents.

I wasn't sure what their reaction would be if I told them, but I felt they'd be worried I'd get arrested or taken into a Vegas backroom or something.

So where are you from? SoCal? If so Las Vegas isn't roamed on Cingular.

so he plays a little cards before he's 21? at least he's not robbing and killing people. THEN his parents should get upset. underage gambling is not a big deal IMO. gambling age is 18 anyone but its 21 cuz of all the alcohol.

Maybe your mom was bluffing?

I bet the $400 cell phone bill worried them more than playing a little poker and why would a good parent be upset that their child, I am saying child because you didn't have balls enough to admit you were in Vegas until later when you started to feel guilty about your lie, broke the law, lied to them about it and only confessed later.

You Mom should Capone you repeatedly. Wait, a kick in the balls has limited affect when you don't have any.
