Conversations with My Mother

This morning...

I've just stepped out of the shower and my mum's wrapping up her morning yoga.
She's probably weighed herself and left the weighing scale out.
Naturally, I go stand on it to check my 'progress'.
The scale reads a little lower than the last time I checked, which was about 2 months ago.

Conversation ensues...

Ma: How much do you weigh?
Me: Same. 41. No wait, the last time it was 43.
Ma: You weigh as much as a child. I was 50 kilos when I got married.
Ma: Ok, then wait for me to get to 50 and then get me married. Hmm?
Ma: *silence*
Me: *wide smile*
Ma: *abounds with everything that spells hopelessness*
