An real-life exchange between two great minds...

This is an actual email exchange I had with my mother.

My mother: i actually had to turn it off at the mains

Me: huh?

My mother: huh huh

Me: turn what at the mains?

Mrs. Tanner,

Please endeavor to make more sense, for while my intellect is vast, it still fails to pierce the shadowy concealment of your thought granted by incomplete word, vague notions and nonsensical references. My time grows short as my shadow grows long. I will strive to make the most of my short time on God's green earth, but when such things are sent to vex me with no end, I grow weary of my time in my maker's paradise. Mother, dearest and most fair of all the lands, I implore you to listen to my pleas. Hopefully, they task you not, and will embolden you to seek such a change of character within yourself that can address such sorrows as I now presently suffer. Fear not, my dearest mother and life-giver of such a wretch as I, I will always quest to understand the strange mixes of utterances that escape your frail frame, and quicken to translate them into a form more fit for social disclosure between persons.

Your loving son engaged in conversation,

Simon

My mother: HAHAHAHAHA

My mother: THANK YOU my dearest son for making such a loving gesture towards your life giver. I will keep onto my bosom these words of wisdom although I doubt if they will leave any impression unto my frail and delicate brain.

Me: I love you mommie. :)

My mother: I was referring to the black screen I was getting whilst I was working on the computer. It was due to a program that I could not quit and I had to turn off the computer at the electrical switch, not the computer switch. I have never laughed so heartily, thank you for being so kind and so loving. I love you maman
