Talking to My Mom
Mom: But I don’t have cats anymore.
Me: I’m sure we just saw one of them. My
cats are here too, and they need food to eat.
Mom: Oh, are you sure? I haven’t seen my
cats in ages.
Me: Max was just here, and Callie sleeps
on you every night.
Mom: Your dad just called. He’s on his
way home for lunch.
Me: Looks like he left a note.
Mom: (Reading note) I will not be home
for lunch today; chicken for dinner. Oh, better defrost
some chicken.
Me: There’s defrosted chicken in the
fridge already. You should leave it there. It’s still
morning.
Mom: I want a cat.
