Me: I'm finished!
Mother: What?
Me: I've finished!
Mother: What?
Me: My course!
Mother: What course?
Me: er....the only one I do...
Mother: Oh, you mean you've handed in the last lot of stuff?
Me: Yeh.....I've finished!
Mother: Well, not quite...
Me: Yes, quite
Mother: But I thought you finish when you get the paper?
Me: My point - mother - is that I have absolutely nothing left to do for my course, and - although I lack a piece of paper - I have finished in every other conceivable way.
Mother: I'll wait until you get the piece of paper.
Me: Why? And for what?
Mother: To tell people
Me: Again; why?
Mother: Because then we'll know for sure
Me: ...!
