Me: No it’s fine.

Mum: I’ve bought some balaclava.

Me: Are you coming as a terrorist?

Mum: Do you want me to bring anything to your Chanukah party?

Me: Do you know how to make potato latkes?

Mum: Ugh! Never again! Not after the Queen’s Silver Jubilee.

Me: What’s it got to do with the Queen’s Silver Jubilee?

Me: Why did you make latkes for the Queen’s Silver Jubilee?

Mum: We were celebrating.
