wickedcherubHere's a conversation we had while she was over at my house last night.
Mum: "Why did you buy Liam a giant loud annoying drum kit when your house is the size of a rice bowl? That is ridiculous. He has enough toys."
Me: "I didn't buy it. A lady from mother's group gave it to me. I think she secretly hates me hahahahaha."
Mum: "*missing the joke* why would she hate you when she's giving you a present? You should be grateful that someone bought you something. Look how wonderful the drums are!"
Me: "She had to buy me something. It was secret santa. She's a mum, she should know better, don't you think?"
Mum: "Not everyone knows what you want, Tina, you should have told her what you want. What's wrong with the drum kit? I think it's great."
Me: "It keeps Toby awake."
Mum: "Tell Liam to stop playing then."
Me: "Ah huh. You try."
*mum fails spectacularly at getting Liam to stop playing*
Mum: "Why haven't you moved it?"
Me: "We only just got it yesterday."
Mum: "Why did you only get your Secret Santa present yesterday? Your organisational skills are terrible. I don't know who you got that from, it wasn't me or your father. How are you my daughter?"
LA LA LA LA EVERYTHING BIG AND SMALL IS MY FAULT EVEN WHEN IT ISN'T LA LA LA
