Me: It’s in the notebook, mom. Mom: I can’t find the notebook! Me: Last I saw it, it was on the coffee table. Mom: Found it! … Mom: It doesn’t work! Me: Are you looking at the brown notebook or the pink one? Mom: Yes! Me: Yes what? Are you in? Mom: Yes, I have a notebook and the password doesn’t work! Repeat forever.
