Conversations with Mum

29 Jun

MARTA, VERONICA and MUM sit in the living room.  VERONICA is on her computer looking at Cute Overload.  She shows MUM the pictures that she finds. 

MARTA:  Oh yeah, I saw this too.  Have you seen the one with the pugs sleeping next to each other?

VERONICA: No, not yet.

MUM:  Find me the one on YouTube with the fox.

VERONICA: What fox?

MUM:  You know, the fox.

VERONICA:  What?

MUM:  Don’t be like that, you were telling me about it yesterday.

VERONICA: No I wasn’t.  What fox?  I don’t know what you’re talking about.

MARTA and MUM stare at VERONICA. 

VERONICA: What?

MUM: Why are you like that?

VERONICA: Like what?

MARTA: Like a bitch when we ask something of you?

VERONICA: I wasn’t being a bitch, I don’t know what she’s talking about.

MUM: Whenever we ask to borrow something from you–

MARTA: You never have it.  Whenever we want to know something—

MUM: You don’t know what we’re talking about.

VERONICA: But I really don’t know what you’re talking about.

Silence as VERONICA watches a video on her computer, and MUM and MARTA continue staring at her. 

MUM: Did you find it?

VERONICA:  No, I’m watching a different vid– I really don’t know any video with a fox in it.

MUM: You were telling me about it yesterday.

VERONICA: Well, what was it then.

MUM: It was this fox, and then there were chickens and the hatch came down–oh you know what, don’t worry about it.

VERONICA: Someone else told you about it?

MUM: No, I remember where I saw it now.

MARTA: Where?

MUM: It was a dream I had.

MARTA: Good one Mum.

THE END.

    I quite literally just wet myself laughing. Mostly because I can totally see this happening :P

      We were all crying with laughter. It happened not half an hour ago and I had to share. Some moments in life are just too good to make up.
