Conversation with my mum
Mar. 16th, 2007 10:39 amMum - so what have you been doing recently?
Mule - mostly working and stuff, but I've got into knitting.
Mum - knitting? Peh! [sounds scornful]
Mule - Actually, it's more fun than I imagined - I've got quite good at it.
Mum - Oh, you get that from me. I was brilliant at knitting. I used to knit everything for you and your brother.
*bangs head on table*
Note that after that, the conversation just descended into how fat I'd got recently, and how long it took to give birth to me cos I had a huge head and lots of medical problems and was a really difficult baby. Whereas my brother didn't hurt at all, the entire labour took forty minutes, and she was thinner after she'd had him than she'd ever been. Miracle baby.
