On the phone with my mother, after approximately 80 minutes of trying to help her download itunes. (First she had to download Windows XP Service Pack 2, which requires Internet Explorer 5, but you can only download 7, but that download requires that you already have SP2.... the horror.)
Mom: Well, now I'm set up to receive an automatic windows update at 3am. Do you think if we try again tomorrow, it could work after the automatic update?
Me: (trying to stay optimistic) Sure, let's try that.
Mom: Ok. Well, I'll be at church tomorrow night, so maybe I'll try in the morning.
Me: Church on a Thursday? (big mistake here, duchess)
Mom: Well it's Holy Thursday, honey.
Me: Oh.
Mom: Easter is this Sunday.
Me: Right. Yes. I-
Mom: You really should make your plans to at LEAST attend church on Easter.
pause
Me: Good, so let's plan on re-trying the itunes installation tomorrow, then. You can call me at work or on my cell if you have any questions. Hopefully it'll work this time! If not, maybe we'll call Geno or something. By the way, your birthday is coming up pretty quickly. Any specific requests?
Mom: (totally seeing through my aversion, but knowing that a confrontation here will bring about an unpleasant disagreement and possibly tears) Well I do need some new clothes.....
