[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom is not senile in the least. She just (and has always been this way) likes to always be in on every conversation whether she knows what it's about or not. One day the family were all discussing cell phones.

Somebody brought up the Blackberry phone. My niece's friend (a 13-yr-old boy) told a little story about how his mom just hated her Blackberry so much, she complained about it all day long. Finally she got a new phone and everybody in his family was so glad they didn't have to hear how much she hated her Blackberry.

My mom replied, in this annoying condescending tone of voice, like she was picking on his mom for being so trivial (the interjections are us correcting her at every turn, but she just wasn't getting it):

"so she hates blackberries so much she complains about them?" 
[Grandma, he's talking about the phone!] 
"If I made her a blackberry pie, she would REFUSE to eat it?" 
[mom, he's not talking about food, he's talking about his mom's phone!] 
"I don't like apples, but I don't complain about them!"  
[Grandma! Stop! We're talking about cell phones!]
"No!" She said, in an attempt to save face, "I'm talking about the berries you EAT, not cell phones!" (As thought she were the commander of this conversation that was going on all around her). [/quote]

Hilarious! :)[/quote]
