Me: Hello?
Mom: Hi, honey… did you watch the big game?
Me: Of course. Everyone’s here, and we just finished the chili.
Mom: Wasn’t it exciting? With the running and stuff?
Me: Yup. Especially the stuff part, mom.
Mom: I was really hoping that that nice Warner boy would win… You know he loves Jesus, and his wife seems so stylish…
Me: Sure…
Mom: That last catch- wasn’t that amazing? I didn’t know that San Antonio was that good.
Me: Well, you should have. We watched him all through college. He’s a Buckeye.
Mom: Really ? I thought he was from Texas…
Me: No kidding… Wonder why you thought that?
Mom: Well, I wanted to call and say “hi”. Have fun with the rest of your little party.
Me: Thanks, mom. Enjoy the Mary Tyler Moore re-runs.
Mom (laughing): How did you know? I think this is the crazy one where Lou gets so angry…
Me: Aren’t they all. Bye mom.
