conversation, 3 pm

My mother: "Guess who called?"

Me: "Really?" (knowing by the tone of her voice that
it was her older sister, my aunt)

My mother: "Yeah. To tell me about that family reunion down the bayou.
Anyway, so when I was just about to hang up, I told her, 'I loooove you.'

You know, just to piss her off."

Then she was all 'oooh...chère, I do too, chère'!
What's with this 'chère' shit all of a sudden? What, she thinks she's mama now? pft"

Me: "I think she just meant 'bitch'."

her: "Yeah, probably."
