"Yes."
"Yes what?"
"Those cars!"
"But which ones? Those are all from different companies," I tell her.
"THE ONES YOU SAID."
"So you're talking about the new cars from all different of companies?"
"Oh, forget it." And she hangs up on me.
Does anyone else get telephone calls as inane as the one I recently received? Do they irk you as much as they irk me? Do you ponder changing your number afterwards and not giving it to anyone so that they can't bother you? Crikey.

LOL... I can relate.
I often wonder if our elderly are over medicated.
You know some of that arthritis medications can have them in a stoned stupor by 2 pm. Seriously.
Ok, but maybe I can help translate her...I think she was talking about hybrids....after many years of trying to translate inane conversations with my own relations.....that is what I think she was trying to say....scary that I can interpret the overmedicated ramblings of an old person (maybe your mom isn't old, maybe she isn't overmedicated, but the conversation sounded familar).
