My older sister’s friend had moved away to university, and her parents immediately turned her room into a study.

Me - When I go to uni, you’re not going to turn my room into a study, are you?

Mum - No, why would we do that?

Me - Thanks, Mum.

Mum - It’s gonna be my shoe room.

At Least She’s Not One Of Those Pushy Mothers

As a kid I was convinced that I was destined to be the next Judy Garland, and my mum patiently drove me to auditions and mopped up my tears when I never got the part. One day I was particularly upset, and the following exchange occurred.

Me - I’m never going to another audition -never, never never!

Mum - Alright, honey. You really aren’t very good.

Oddly enough, it did stop me crying; I think from shock more than anything.

A big waist of a compliment

Me - Hey, that dress looks great! Have you lost some weight?

Mum - Yep, and it looks like you found it.
