A Conversation with Mum that’s – Don’t Ask
Mum: Do you have Ask?
Me: What’s ask?
Mum: You know on your computer.
Me: Ask on my computer.
Mum: Yes.
Me: Tell me what Ask does.
Mum: I don’t know what it does. I don’t want it, it’s just there.
Me: This is new then.
Mum: I didn’t ask for it but I certainly got it.
Me: Ask.
Mum: Ask. So you know what it is then?
Me: No idea. Hang on. Is it Ask.com
Mum: It’s a box on the screen.
Me: You downloaded something didn’t you?
Mum: No, you told me I’m not allowed to do that.
Me: You downloaded something.
Mum: No.
Me: You downloaded.
Mum: No.
Me: Mum.
Mum: I didn’t do anything.
Me: Audible out breath.
Mum: Well, yes I did download a thing for the movie times, but it wasn’t any good.
Me: Oh, gawd.
Mum: Can you get rid of it?
Me: I can get rid of it.
Mum: How did it get there?
Me: You downloaded it.
Mum: I didn’t.
Me: I think we can safely say you did, but I’ll let you off the hook this time.
Mum: Like don’t ask no questions and I’ll tell you no lies.
Me: Not really.
Mum: How did I get it again?
Me: You downloaded it
Mum: I didn’t. I did.
Me: It’s a sneaky one, you didn’t mean to download it which is why you’re not allow to…
Mum: Ask.
Me: Download.
Mum: Ask not what your country can do for you, just ask your daughter to download things, because you’re not allowed to.
Me: Ask me how annoying you’re being.
Mum: Don’t ask, don’t tell.

Another funny instalment to this series…made me laugh this morning. (Suzanne)
Interesting way to start your morning.
Awesome. As usual.
Thank you, Jane.
I so love you’re Mum conversations. But how do you remember it all???
Most of them happen on the phone which makes it easy to take notes, and she has a certain pattern, plus good memory – me not her.
