My mom: “So you know Maryland, right? Maryland? It’s Finley’s mom. So her mom, Mary Lou, you know her, right? She had the Cat House. Madeline remembers the Cat House, the across from the stairs down to the beach. Well, she sold that, so she’s actually living at another place, on the same property as Maryland. And Alex, you know Alex, right? She’s Mary Lou’s partner. So anyway, she wasn’t answering calls, and so they went out to check on her and she was unconscious, so they rushed her to the hospital. It was really fortunate that she was on the same property, otherwise it could have been really bad.
So I have to go get Finley and watch him for the next few hours.”
Me, after she’s gone: “I have no idea who any of these people are, and I have no idea who is in the hospital.”
Note: Alex was in the hospital, Alex is a woman, and Finley is a dog. Everything except Alex being the one in the hospital was included in the monologue, so as you can imagine it was even longer than what I wrote.
