Backgroud - she lives with my brother and sister, both adults, and my sister works shifts.
I rang her - "Hi Mum, how are you?"
Mum - "Well, how do you think I am, I've been rushing around like a blue arsed fly, haven't I?"
Me - "Is Dsis around?"
Mum - "She's just walked in from work colditz, she's filthy, she's gone to get changed."
Me "Ok, will you just yell up the stairs and ask her if she fancies coming round for a cup of tea?"
Mum "Colditz, she's on the toilet, for god's sake!"
Me - "Ok, ok, I can't actually see into your house, remember?"
Is it me? Is it my mother? Is it mothers in general? What on Earth went wrong with that conversation?

I've just had typical conversation with my mother and I really do think she has a communication difficulty
