  "Mom, " you replied, "You told me you were an orphan."  
  
  "I lied," Mom replied.  "So make sure you're free."  Then she hangs up the phone.

  Mom  (aka Lisa Donner) appeared several years ago in Colorado as a single mom and orphan.   Since then she has successfully built a new life, and is now the CEO of a big-name company.
