Some days you just have to try to keep your mouth shut, especially with Maisie
- Have you seen my mobile phone Bernie?
- No ma.
- I can never find the bloody thing.
- You should keep in in your pocket ma.It’s called a mobile for a reason you know. It’s so you can bring it with you wherever you go.
- Sure nobody ever rings me anyway.
- Why do you have one then?
- You never know.
- Why don’t you just get rid of it?
- Why should I?
- It’s just another unnecessary bill ma.
- Well you’re not paying for it are you?
- But you never use it.
- It’s handy for emergencies.
- Like what?
- Like when I’m out and I need to contact someone.
- When do you go out anymore these days?
- I was out last week.
- Where?
- At the hospital
- You left your phone at home.
- I knew you had yours with you.
- So why bother having one then?
- I don’t need to explain myself to you or anyone.
- I’m just saying, it’s a waste of money.
- My money, so mind your own business Bernie.
- Right I will. I’m off out to the shops.
- How long will you be?
- I don’t know.
- What if I need you.
- Ring me on your mobile.
- Go on, I wont need you. I’ll be grand.
- Grand so.
- Grand.
- See you later ma.
- I’ll keep me phone beside me.
- I thought you couldn’t find it.
- It was in me pocket.
- Grand.
- So, if you want to ring me…
- I have your number.
- …and I have yours Bernie
- I’m sure you have ma. I’ll ring you from the shops, in case you think of anything you want.
- Thanks Bernie.
- See you later ma.
- Oh Bernie.
- What?
- Will you top up me phone credit while you’re there.
That woman!!
You want to hug them and throttle them at the same time. Sort of like with the children.

Poor Bernie! This sounds so familiar! My mother has been trying to call my mobile for days. Started complaining that she could never reach me, my voice mail was full, blah blah blah. So we checked her phone list. She’d put my number in with one wrong digit.

Your mom sounds like my mom. Absent-minded or conniving, it’s always a tossup 😉
