adults just do not compute

sometimes i get so frustrated
trying to have a civilised conversation
with adults
case in point with mummy

moi: we're going to see baby x today
ma: no, not today because he is sick
moi: (*sick?*) oh, ok, 1,2,3,4,5 ready or not here i come!
ma: ?????!!!!!!!!! (*what the????!!*)
moi: baby x playing hide and seek!
ma: hahahahahahahahaha
moi: ?????!!!!!!!! (*why is she laughing?!*)
ma: no baby x is not playing hide and seek. he is sick, as in, he is not well. he has a cold
moi: cold? baby x wear jumper?
ma: hahahahahahahahaha
moi: ?????!!!!!!!! (*again, why is she laughing?!*)
ma: he has a cold, he is not feeling cold
moi: (*are we speaking the same language here?!!*)
ma: i give up (*as she rolls around laughing her head off*)
