Mom

Me: Hi mom.

Mom: hi Musa.

Me: How are you?

Mom: Good, Ampty Re-Re is crazy.

Me: Re-Re? Who the hell is that?

Mom: Riyah!

Me: Oh, well I didn’t know her nickname was Re-Re, it sounds like a rapper.  Can I ask you something though mom?

Mom: Yeah

Me: I have lived in the US for like, 7 years now, why is it only in the past year that you fail to check what time it is before you call me?

Mom: What do you mean?

Me: Well, what time is it there?

Mom: 10:30 in the morning.

Me: Well, subtract 7 hours, what time does that make it here?

Mom: …. 3:30 in the morning. Oh no! Did I wake you up?

Me: Yes mom. Yes you did.

Mom: You know me, Musa, Im old, Im going senile.

Me: … you’re 47 years old.
