My mom: "So when can I have 'my' car back?" [this is MY black Crown Vic she's talking about, sent over to her on loan whenever I'm comfortable doing so]
Me: "Sorry, I just haven't had time to work on it, and it's not safe to drive as-is."
(two weeks later)
My mom: "So when can I have 'my' car back?"
Me: "Uh, my tools are frozen solid, I just cut off a toe that died from frostbite, I'm busy taking the kid here and there AND my wife wants to have family dinner time AND I'm not comfortable with you driving anywhere anyway because you suspect you had a stroke two weeks ago, so could you please let up on me for a while?"
My mom: "Oh, okay. So do you think you'll be able to work on it today? It's really hard not having a car ......"
[at this point I hang up the phone and start banging my head on a convenient wall until a flat spot appears on my forehead]
