My mom, ladies and gentlemen

This is probably not funny to anyone who doesn't know my mom, but it's pretty damned funny to me. Maybe even up there with watching her watch Brother play GTA .

I just came downstairs to find Mom in the living room watching pro football. The Saints are playing.

Me: Is Jeremy playing? (Jeremy Shockey, to whom I am very distantly related)
Mom:  No, he's having hernia surgery. What a wimp! (perfectly serious)
Me: Mom!
Mom: Surgery like that is never urgent. You can put it off.
Me: If you want to rupture something! 
Mom: ...Okay, maybe.
