Mum: I think one of those guys is going to win.

They never pick stunners to be the Panto Dame, either

Mum: I always feel so sorry for Dame Edna Everage. She’s such an ugly woman.

That always happens to me, too

I heard my mom stomping up and down the stairs apparently looking for something. When she found it, she announced to no one in particular

Mom: Why is it ALWAYS in the last place I look?!

We were debating starting the dog on a course of tablets that evening, or leaving it to the morning when he had his breakfast

Mum: Can you open them now, and see if they’re crushable, but if they’re not, don’t open them.

It’s yellow like a sunflower!

I returned home from the cinema and my mum asked what I had gone to see

Me - Bruno, it was very funny.

Mum - I know it, the one about the pregnant girl.

Me - It’s really, really not.

I was chatting to my mom on Skype this morning, and the following ensued…

Me: I had a really bad dream last night, I woke up with goosebumps everywhere.

Mom: Maybe you have a fever?

Me: No.

Mom: What did you dream?

Me: I can’t remember.

Mom: Then how do you know the dream was bad?

Me: Because I woke up from it, but then I went back to sleep, and now I don’t remember.

Mom: So you still don’t know if it was a bad or good dream! Maybe you needed to pee.
