Never Even Married The Subject
(I am training to be a corporate lawyer at a prestigious law firm. One weekend, my mum calls.)
Mum: “Can I ask you a question about law?”
Me: “Okay.”
Mum: “I need some advice for [Family Friend] about divorce.”
Me: “I can’t help with that.”
Mum: “What? Why not?”
Me: “I’m training to be a corporate lawyer, remember? I have almost nothing to do with family law.”
Mum: “What?”
Me: “I never even studied it at university. It’s pretty much the one topic I know nothing about.”
Mum: “Well, what do you do?”
Me: “At the moment, board minutes. You want board minutes, I’m your woman.”
Mum: “Well, what was the point in you becoming a lawyer if you can’t help me?”
(She hung up on me without even saying goodbye.)
