So. . . going home for Christmas

[rolandro]

- So, Mom.
- Wondered when you'd call.
- Do you have power?
- Yes. We never lost it. But a million other people aren't so lucky.
- What kind of a bizzarro world are we living in?
- The weather? Or the Seahawks.
- Oh, Mom! Don't get me started - the 49ers own the Seahawks. It's been horrible these past few days.
- Your room is looking good. Bob put a mirror in the bathroom
- Used to be a vampire.
- What?
- Joke, Mom. You wouldn't get it.
