I don’t know who’s worse sometimes, Jimmy or me ma 🙄

• Your ma rang when you were out,Bernie
• What did she want?
• Just a chat I think. She was going on about one of her dead friends.
• Who?
• Betty Brown.
• She hasn’t got a friend called Betty Brown.
• Oh, maybe it was Betty Black, I dunno. Died a dew days before her 100th birthday?
• Betty White?
• That’s the one.
• I can’t believe she’s still going on about her. She died months ago.
• Grief has no timeline, Bernie.
• Alright, Seamus Heaney.
• Im just saying, have a bit of compassion for your ma.
• She needs to cop on and get over it.
• Thats a bit harsh, Bernie. She’s very upset, and your ma can’t afford to lose anymore friends at her age.
• She wasn’t her friend, Jimmy.
• Are you sure? She really sounded heartbroken.
• Yes, I’m sure. Jesus that woman would put years on you.
• Bummer, missing out on her big cheque by a few days from Miggeldy. Wouldn’t you be fuming if it was you?
• No I’d be dead if it was me,Jimmy, and why would she be getting a cheque?
• Sure doesn’t everyone that reaches 100 get a cheque from the president.
• Betty White was an American actress,Jimmy.
• Did she marry an Irish man? She’d still be entitled.
• I don’t know who she married or if she married at all, Jimmy. She lived in America.
• Oh right, no cheque for her so. But how did your ma know her?
• Ma didn’t know her. She was one of the golden girls.
• Any relation to golden gee?
• Holy mother of divine; I hope you didn’t mention golden gee to my ma. You know her feelings about that woman.
• Why would I? Sure I’m only finding out now that Betty was related. Did she have an eye for your da aswell?
• She wasn’t related, and golden gee had more than an eye for me da.
• Wasn’t she a member of your mas drama society?
• Betty White?
• No, golden gee, maybe she WAS related.
• Give me patience, Jimmy, and give me that phone.
• I wonder what the going rate for reaching 100 is these days,Bernie?
• I don’t think you need to worry about that,Jim.
• Why’s that?
• Because if you keep annoying me you won’t see 60.
• No need for that talk, Bernie, no need at all.

Give me strength😐
