Mother and Daughter Conversation

Daughter: "Hi Mom. Can I leave the kids with you tonight?"

Mother: "You're going out?"

D: "Yes."

M: "With whom?"

D: "With a friend."

M: "I don't know why you left your husband. He is such a good man."

D: "I didn't leave him. He left me!"

M: "You let him leave you, and now you go out with anybodies and nobodies."

D: "I do not go out with anybody. Can I bring over the kids?"

M: "I never left you to go out with anybody except your father."

D: "There are lots of things that you did and I don't."

M: "What are you hinting at?"

D: "Nothing. I just want to know if I can bring the kids over tonight."

M: "You're going to stay the night with him? What will your husband say if he finds out?"

D: "My ex-husband. I don't think he would be bothered. From the day he left me, he probably never slept alone!"

M: "So you're going to sleep over at this loser's place?"

D: "He's not a loser."

M: "A man who goes out with a divorced woman with children is a loser and a parasite."

D: "I don't want to argue. Should I bring over the kids or not?"

M: "Poor children with such a mother."

D: "Such as what?"

M: "With no stability. No wonder your husband left you."

D: "Enough!"

M: "Don't scream at me. You probably scream at this loser too!"

D: "Now you're worried about the loser?"

M: "Ah, so you see he's a loser. I spotted him immediately."

D: "Good-bye, mother."

M: "Wait! Don't hang up! When are you bringing them over?"

D: "I'm not bringing them over! I'm not going out!"

M: "If you never go out, how do you expect to meet anyone?"
