Unsurprisingly, mother’s intuition is such a universal phenomenon that it’s inspired several threads on Reddit, which is where we found the truly remarkable tales featured in this story.

So we go over into my dad’s office where they are kept and start handling them. That’s when the house phone rang, and I answered; it was my mom calling from a payphone. She had a clear nervous tone and was telling me that we should stay away from anything ‘dangerous’ like the guns (which she specifically mentioned) and then hung up. I have always been a responsible person, even as a kid — I never got into trouble when left alone, and even with the guns, I knew the ammo was always stored separately and had no intention of taking it out. I also have never received any calls like this before, of her checking up at an odd time like this, especially by payphone. I went on the remainder of my childhood thinking the house was rigged with cameras or microphones. And believe me, I looked, and I looked well. I knew more about bugging technology before I was 12 than a spy shop owner.

He is supposed to fly on flight 1, to city A (stays on the plane), flies to City B, has a layover in City B, catches flight 2, and then his brother will pick him up in City C. No problem … we have done this a million times … just without the stop in City A. I am sitting here watching the flight on FlightAware to help calm my nerves but the anxiety was getting so bad that my medical cat was starting to alert me that I was having an issue. Watching the flight, I noticed that it was landing in another airport. so I double-checked the ticket and it says ‘stops in City A.’ I thought, oh, I didn’t notice that before. Meh, whatever. When the flight lands, he sends a message that he is at the airport in City B … WHAT??? So I skip messaging him and call and ask where he is because FlightAware says he is in City A, NOT city B. He checks and sure enough, he got off at the wrong stop. He has a minor moment of, “OH SHT!” so I told him find someone who works there and ask them how to get back to the flight. He does and then heads back. While off the phone, I call his dad and we’re both having a minor “EEP” moment while waiting to hear if he made it back to the flight. Finally got the call … They held the flight for him. He is now on his way to the correct airport. My anxiety is gone." — dotchianni/Reddit More from CafeMom: 13 Funny AF Tweets from Parents That Nail the Horror of Bedtime This is just one example, but there have been many times when I have had a vague unsettled feeling and followed my gut instinct, and it has worked for the better.
