Mom: Hi Lisa. I am sitting here with my friend and we are trying to figure out the name of the show with the Muskrats that is on the National Geographic channel.
Me: Muskrats? Like Muskrat Love.
Mom: What do you mean, Muskrat Love?
Me: You know, that song called Muskrat Love. It's from the 50's or 60's.
Mom: Ay, Lisa. I have no idea what you mean. Well, I guess. (aside to her friend--all in Spanish: Cuales son? Son los que tienen mucho pelo y se paran no?--Translation: Which ones are they? The ones that are all hairy and stand up, no? ). WHERE IS THIS CONVERSATION GOING? I AM GETTING NERVOUS.
Me: Why would you two be talking about Muskrats?
Mom: Well..... My friend met someone on the cruise she just got back from and he is from England and she says that he looks like one of those muskrats when he is naked.
WHAAAAAAAAA? Jesus Christ. Who in the hell am I talking to? And? Why did you just ruin one of the best shows ever? Naked. Why did her friend see an Englishman naked? Am confused and kinda worried about the direction this is heading.
Me: Oh my God, Mom! Seriously? Did you really just say that? And besides, the show is called MEERKAT Manor. It's on the Discovery Channel, not the National Geographic Channel. And you just ruined it for me. I have to hang up now because I just threw up in my mouth.
