You don't want to go shop anywhere?

My mom has the day off work today. I'm taking another sick day off work. We are at home and my mom decides that she doesn't want to waste her day off sitting around. She doesn't know how to drive. What transpires this morning...

Mom: "why don't we see a movie and then go shopping at Tanforan?"

Me: "I don't want to shop. Look at me? I look like someone took a stick to my face."

Mom: "well, you can sit in the car."

Me: "what? I'm not sitting in the car while you shop."

Mom: "what about the movie? People will see you anyway. What's the difference?"

Me: "it's dark in the theater, mom."

Mom: "Fine. We can go to Sports Basement."

Me: "I'm not going there. People I know will see me."

Mom: "Then what do you want to do?"

Me: "Stay home and wallow in self misery."

Mom: "So, we are not having lunch either? Unless you want to find a dark place to eat also."

Me: "you told me this morning that I look awful. Now you want me to walk around in public? I'll have to tell people who ask what happened was that you beat me up."

Mom: "Dont be silly. Say dad did it."
