-Hello…
-Hello, yes?
-Did you post an advertisement in the newspaper?
-Yes, and who are you?
-You said that you need a kind mother in your advertisement…
-Yes, so who are you?
-You wrote that you want a mother who takes her son to the park each Friday, never scolds him, would be kind with his father, would not mention divorce so often, spend time with his child, play with him, would not argue with him for video games, order pizza each night in between and…
-Your voice…its familiar
-You said it does not matter whether she is well-educated or not. Whatever; it’s not important at all. She should not be very pretty either. She just needs to be good-tempered, kind and rich, right?
-Mom!
-To hell with mom! Don’t you dare call me mom! I am coming home to teach you a good lesson right away! Who gave you the right to do this, how could you? So you now post advertisements for me, do you? Just wait till I lay my hands on you.
