This is a weepy cold. How weepy? This afternoon, I called up my mother and left the following message on her answering machine:
"Mummmmy. Mummmmy. Mum-MAY. Mummy, Mummy, Mummy. Mum-MAY-"
Midway through, she picked up.
"Sweetheart?"
"Mum-MAY!"
"Oh, my goodness. Do you have a terrible cold?"
"Just terrible."
"I could tell. Well, sort of. I mean, to be honest, I can't really understand what you're saying at that pitch."
This proves what I've always suspected: I could just call my Mom and whine incoherently into the phone, and she would still give me sympathy.

If i were to call my mother, and whinge incoherently into the phone... I suspect she would yell at me.
ReplyDeleteSo good on ya.
The key is to be really funny while doing it. That way no one notices that you are actually whining.
