It's fine. It's quiet. I got some beautiful flowers from Richard and his family. You sent flowers, huh? Isn't that nice? What a son. And I got some beautiful flowers from my son Bob and his family. Wow. Well, that's great. Whose flowers look better, Mom?

I'm not saying anything. Come on, Mom. Our flowers kicked his butt, didn't they? Your flowers are all white roses. They're beautiful. Way better than what Bob sent, right? Can Bob hear this? No. So what did Bob send?

And that's your answer right there when she was asking if Bob could hear it. It's clear that yours are better. But what did Bob send? Bob sent yellow roses and gerber daisies. Oh, he added gerber daisies. Yeah. I don't know. White roses are better.

They're beautiful. In fact, they're so different, but equally as nice. She loves us all equally. Yes, I do. It's very politely correct. So what else are you up to today? Are you just watching some TV and stuff? No, I've just been reading all day.
