Sincerely, Sally B.
The Lion Queen
Me: The fish died.
Mom: A fish can't keep you company.
Me: Of course it can. I needed some other living thing in this house when [roommate] is traveling all the time and I'm completely alone.
Mom: You need a kitty.
Me: There are so many reasons why I'm not going to talk about getting a cat.
Mom: You're right... you have them and you love them... and then they die.
Me: That's one of the reasons.
Mom: [singing] It's the cirrrrrcle of liiiiifffee!
Me: Time to go.
Mom: [singing] Hakuna matata...
Me: I don't think that's the next part.
