Me: (Looking at the ETA on the GPS – oh yeah…we’re all kinds of techno-fancy) Hey mom, you’re making good time, we’ve taken a minute off of our ETA.
Mom: Dang it, that car’s so slow. They’re making me lose time!
Me: What? I just said we’re making good time. We were supposed to get there at 7:30; now it says 7:29.
Mom: (Completely not listening to me, totally flipping out about the slow car) They’re slowing me down! We’ll just have to make the minute up later.
Me:…..WHAT? 7:29 is earlier than 7:30.
Mom: You BET it is…..what?
Yeah…she kind of picks up on a word or two here and there. It’s not the easiest trying to carry on a conversation with her when there’s traffic around.
