Phone rings. MOTHER (I choose to give the one I'm imagining a Greek accent) picks up the phone and answers:
Mother: Hello?
Daughter: Hi Mom. Can I leave the kids with you tonight?
Mother: You're going out?
Daughter: Yes.
Mother: With whom?
Daughter: With a friend.
Mother: I don't know why you left your husband. He is such a good man.
Daughter: I didn't leave him. He left me!
Mother: You let him leave you, and now you go out with anybodies and nobodies.
Daughter: I do not go out with anybody. Can I bring over the kids?
Mother: I never left you to go out with anybody except your father.
Daughter: There are lots of things that you did and I don't.
Mother: What are you hinting at?
Daughter: Nothing. I just want to know if I can bring the kids over tonight.
Mother: You're going to stay the night with him? What will your husband say if he finds out?
Daughter: My EX husband. I don't think he would be bothered. From the day he left me, he probably never slept alone!
Mother: So you're going to sleep over at this loser's place?
Daughter: He's not a loser.
Mother: A man who goes out with a divorced woman with children is a loser and a parasite.
Daughter: I don't want to argue. Should I bring over the kids or not?
Mother: Poor children with such a mother.
Daughter: Such a what?
Mother: With no stability. No wonder your husband left you.
Daughter: ENOUGH !!!
Mother: Don't scream at me. You probably scream at this loser too!
Daughter: Now you're worried about the loser?
Mother: Ah, so you see he's a loser. I spotted him immediately.
Daughter: Goodbye mother.
Mother: Wait! Don't hang up! When are you bringing them over?
Daughter: I'm not bringing them over! I'm not going out!
Mother: If you never go out, how do you expect to meet anyone?

Debriefing
- Flubberwinkle
- Athens, Greece
- Half of the day they call me "Athena" where I get paid to dabble with computers. The other half of the day I'm called "Mom", but I also have an online secret identity. I am bilingual, so what might look like Greek to you, probably is. I blog because it's cheaper than therapy and I like to make people laugh.
