Random Conversations with My Mother
SaturdayE: A called me today.
Mom: He didn't ask for money did he?
E: Oddly no. He wanted to convince me to come home for Thanksgiving.
Mom: That would be just stupid. You shouldn't come home. What is his problem?
E: Apparently, the girlfriend was sad about not meeting me.
Mom: Oh, they're talking about family?
Tuesday
Mom: Can you download this game, play it until you get to level 19 and then tell me how to pass it?
E: No.
Thursday
Mom: I'm not feeling well.
E: I'm sorry. Do you have Swine Flu?
Mom: No. Just a cough. I'm still stuck on level 19. Tell me how to pass it.
Friday
Mom (in pitiful voice): I'm sick
E: Do you have Swine Flu?
Mom: Yes. Now I have to wear a mask and everyone's looking at me. And I had to sit in the quarantine area of the waiting room.
E: That's too bad.
Mom: Your dad is calling it Pig Flu. I don't like it.
E: Well, he'll have it soon too. Just don't give it to George. Did you know the Twins traded for Hardy?
