Me: It actually said that your computer had virus?
Mom: Well, it told me that my computer had virus.
Me: It told you? Your computer actually talked to you?
Mom: No, not my computer. This HUGE thing did.
Me: What did this HUGE thing look like?

Mom: It just seemed so much bigger last night.

“It just seemed so much bigger last night.”
Oh, if I had a pound for every time I heard your mum say that to me… I’d buy something worth about 50p and save the rest because you never know when you might some loose change. For car parks and the like.
Mark,
