Each weekend I call my mom. She is at home in the midwest, enjoying retirement with my dad, who routinely asks her questions as she chats with me. I can't usually hear what he is saying, but she answers him, and it sounds like this:
Mom: "And then Mary was driving down----what?! I don't know! Look in the drawer! God!
Anyway, she had that brand new car, so......"
or this:
Mom: "Well we have just had so many beans out of the garden, all---"I told you, I'm on the phone! No, it isn't lunchtime! You'd think he could let me finish a conversation for once. But our tomatoes aren't doing all that good."
Today, it went like this:
Mom: "So we had a really nice time at Susan's wedding. Your sister was starving. And nobody had anything---I'm talking to your daughter! .....The old one!"
I guess it could be worse. I could be the retarded one.

Amazingly, it isn't just dads that do this to moms. My mom chronically asks my dad questions when I'm trying to have a phone conversation with him.
I think she gets jealous!
Great post. I am still laughing.
What are you saying?!?!? ...
Sooorrrryyyy! If he'd LEAVE ME ALONE WHEN I'M ON THE PHONE! He's like the cat...when I'm on the phone, I'm not paying attention to either one of them so they feel a need to GET IN MY FACE!
I'm not sayin' anything, I'm just sayin'.
I can hear there voices in that conversation....
PS I DON'T have a retarded one.
