Mum Goes Virtual
Mum: Can you just make it virtual?
Me: What?
Mum: My pc, can’t you make it virtual?
Me: Do you know what that means?
Mum: Virtual reality.
Me: Which means?
Mum: Something better than my broken pc.
Me: Your pc isn’t broken, but it is slow.
Mum: Yes, I could be dead in the chair before it does anything. If it was virtual it would be quicker, surely.
Me: That’s like saying if it was pretend.
Mum: How can that be?
Me: Virtual reality means like reality but not reality. You have an actual pc, in reality.
Mum: But it’s not working.
Me: Pretend it is.
Mum: What’s the damn point of that?
Me: Exactly.
Mum: Don’t be smart
Me: I’d have to be damn smart if I was able to build you a virtual reality computer.
Mum: Pretend you are. It’s certainly better than your everyday reality.
