Don't shoot the messenger, сестра.
Maybe answer your phone once in a while and I won't have to text you to tell you to call Mama all the time, hm?

[so_many_pockets]

It is 3am in Russia, I cannot call her back right now

And I really was busy when she called

AND I have only actually missed two of her calls in the last two weeks

[she might be rounding up to get that to two weeks]

[bestqualified]

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt on that.

[so_many_pockets]

I wouldn't lie! I don't need to anyways, I have the break coming after Christmas

[bestqualified]

I'd hoped the break would entice you to pick up the phone so she wouldn't have anything to complain about UNTIL Christmas.

[so_many_pockets]

I have been picking up the phone!

You know as well as I do she would not go until Christmas without complaining.

Let me dream, Lena.

[so_many_pockets]

Would this be dream or delusion, Tasha?

[bestqualified]

A little both of both, really.

I'm entitled to it in my old age, alright?

[so_many_pockets]

You can trade the notion of face squishing for old age delusions, you can't yet have both.

[bestqualified]

You mean face squishing doesn't count as an old age delusion?

[so_many_pockets]

It counts as a delusion if you never actually do it, I suppose. If you do, though, it is unfortunately reality.

[bestqualified]

Unfortunate for you, fun for me.

[so_many_pockets]

Yes, yes, whatever. That is not the point.

[bestqualified]

You're right. The point is that you're willing to ghost me when I tell you to call our mother.

I'm wounded.

[so_many_pockets]

[Shit.]

how many messages would I be able to claim it had been a test, to see if you believed it, if I was my most convincing?

[bestqualified]

Three at most.

[so_many_pockets]

Really? I would have guessed at most one. What a missed opportunity.

[bestqualified]

Two would be me humoring you. Purely out of love.

[so_many_pockets]

That still counts.

I obviously knew you would not believe the disconnected message at all.
