Mother: TV's been a bit dull lately hasn't it?
Me: I don't have a TV, Mum.
Mother: Oh no, of course not - Well, it's been dull.
Me: Oh.


*not 30 seconds later*


Mother : Well I've been keeping myself busy in the evening, sewing and that

Me: Good - it's good to keep busy

Mother: Mind you, there's been a few good things on the TV lately so I've been watching those too...
