EMERGENCY!!!

My brother is not what you would call a calm man by any means and neither is his wife, especially when something is wrong. This is probably one of the silliest things that I have heard in a while...
Yesterday my brother was working with some heavy machinery and couldn't hear very well when he answered a call from his frantic wife screaming and sobbing crying "EMERGENCY... THE WATER IS BROKE IT HAS BROKEN... EMERGENCY" (Note Rita is very Russian and hard to understand when she is upset and VERY pregnant her Oct 1st due date is rapidly approaching but she is HUGE so the baby could come really at any time)
Jared freaks out and runs into the office and screams for my mother to "COME NOW THE BABY IS COMING RITA'S WATER BROKE" there were a lot of expletives that I left out but that is the basic gist of what was screamed. So my Mom tells him to calm down even if her water has broken the baby isn't going to fall out on the floor, which totally pissed Jared off because he was already so riled up.
He was speeding home and my mother jumped in her car to meet him there and to pick up Anastasia while they headed to the hospital. Unbenounced to her there was another phone call to Jared from Rita on the drive over about what was really going on....
My mom walks in the door and yes there is water on the floor, A LOT of water on the floor way too much to be the early birth of her second grandchild. She starts laughing, as Rita yells from the bathroom "JARED I TOLD YOU ON THE PHONE I FOUND THE PLUNGER"
Rita was not in labor and HER water hadn't broken, the EMERGENCY was that the toilet was over flowing and she didn't know how to stop it and the water was going everywhere. Which it had, it was clear out into their living room.
My mom just laughed and laughed because this was soooo silly... I guess it was kind of an Emergency because Rita didn't know what to do but what a funny moment to be met with a monstrously pregnant woman wielding a plunger after her frantic call totally confused why everyone was ready to go to the hospital.
