malsperanzaHell, I forgot the cut tag. Sorry!
and the captions didn't come through. Gah.
Me: So where did you say you got these pictures?
Mum: I didn't.
Me: Hm. Are they real?
Mum: Is the Pope Catholic?
Me: I see. Uh, would you say you have a jaundiced view of men, Mum?
Mum: Does a bear shit in the woods?
Me: Talk like that and if you don't watch out people are going to start describing you as a feisty old lady.
Mum: Not to my face they won't.
Me: Why? You don't consider yourself feisty?
Mum: I am not old. Old is 85.
Me: Funny you should mention that. I think I may have gotten some of your mail the other day.
Mum: My mail is all from valiant nonprofits whose causes I support. And a lot of medical crap.
Me: An insurance letter. They thought I was 85.
Mum: And the National Rifle Association. Why would I get mail from those bastards?
Me: I am guessing a joke on the part of my brother?
Mum: I wouldn't be surprised. I'll send $15 in his name to ... what is it? The Make-a-Wish Foundation? He'll be on their mailing list forever. Hah.
Me: He'll strangle you.
Mum: Or what's that charity that sends teddy bears to orphans?
Me: What if it wasn't him? He'll strangle me.
Mum: Hunh. Clearly, you need some feisty lessons.
