Mom Is Ironically Charging In

(My parents and I are working on fixing up my house. My father is currently working with the outdoor lighting, meaning I have had to turn off the electricity.)

Mother: *comes charging outside* “[My Name]! It’s been an hour and you still haven’t turned on the washing machine! How do you expect your clothes to get washed when you won’t even—”

Me: “But the power is off!”

Mother: “And?! You haven’t turned on the washing machine!”

Me: “Because there’s no power!”

Mother: “What does that have to do with it?”

Me: *facepalm* “Mum. The washing machine needs to be plugged in to work…”

Mother: *after a few seconds* “Ah… Yes. Right.” *pauses* “Don’t put this on Facebook!”
