from tonight’s skype call with my parents
Mom: I was reading an article in a travel magazine about Lower Saxony, that’s kind of where you are…
Me: Uh, not really…
Mom: But isn’t that near you? In the black forest?
Me: Mom, you visited me….
Dad: You’re kind of in the best part of Germany, aren’t you? Bavaria’s the best par-
Me: I don’t live in Ba-
Dad: Isn’t that where Munich is?
Mom: Yes, like you said, in Bavar-
Me: MOM WHERE DID YOU VISIT ME LAST YEAR?
Mom: Aren’t you in the black forest?
Me: ….
Dad: Wait, isn’t she near Frankfurt?
Me: Where do you send me letters? What’s the city?
Mom: Well it’s Mainz in Rheinland-Pfalz. That’s where I visited you. Of course I knew that.
Dad: Wait, she’s not in Bavaria?
Me: You are messing with me.
