M: .... And then your Sister and me, we went to see this movie, and then your Sister wanted to go out and eat, so we went to a nice restaurant for dinner. Your father came too, it was beryy good food. What it was? Ah Chinese, good food. Hard workers... and then all three of us rented the new movie with Sharukh and we watched it at home. It was so good--
NP: That reminds me, Ma, I am going to a dance concert. Come with me. You'll like it; I'll buy you a ticket for Mother's day. I've been wanting to go for such a long time. I'm so excited!
M: Aray, beti, how much is this ticket? Where it is?
NP: Don't worry, I've got it. Just tell me- will you come?
M: No, tell me. HOw much it is?

M: Say how much it is.
NP: Maa! I'm paying for it!
M: Ohhhh beti, why you hiding secrets from me now? I'm your mother, my beti. You tell me how much, na? I just want to know.

NP: It's my money, I'll do what I want with it. Why can't you let me buy you this gift?
M: Aray, what I am going to do at concert? What will your father do? He will be home all alone.
NP: Bring him. I'll pay for him too,
M: Hmph. Chi, he will not like it.
NP: C'mon Ma, I've been wanting to go to this for so long, and this is my gift to you.
M: Beeetttiiiii, do I have to go? What will happen if I don't go?
NP: Well, I can't go by myself.

Hmmm. Typical conversation between infuriating Mother and NP. Needless to say, Nutty Princess is going to the goddamn concert by herself. And she will enjoy herself mightily.

Oh, this really cracked me up! Parents forget about the "wild" things they used to do and then the most mundane things become outrageous! Hope the concert is fantastic.
I did enjoy it!
It was Fabulous with a capital F.
