Today is a really important day, my mum turned 78 years young!

I went to visit her after work and here's how how the conversation went. I decided to list it here as I think I may get a smile from it in years to come when she may not be around.

CONTEXT: My mum and I get on really well therefore my conversation can be blunt at times and may sound disrespectful. Also, I've lost just over a stone in weight in six weeks.

Mum: "You are fairly putting the beef on."
Me: "I've lost a stone ya auld bitch!"
Mum: "Well you don't look it "

Then randomly..."Oh Brendan you are getting really grey".

Me: "Mum you are 78 today. Can you remember what age I am?"
Mum: "Well you can't be far behind me."

Just heading home to cry in a dark room for the night.
