it's sooo my mum to say/hear something like that
my mum's deaf...trust me when i say that. seriously she's so hard of hearing it's unbelievable: -
MUM: what are you doing?
RENZI: (opening my dad's drawer) er...looking for my pants. aunty may have accidentally put it in his drawer
M: HARRR?? Panties??
R: ....

My friend Jeff called me a few years back. At that point in time, we didn't have the handphones and even pagers, so we had to rely on the good ol' land line. So he called, and asked for me.
JEFF: May i speak to Renee please?
MUM: She's not in. Who's this on the line?
J: This is Jeff.
M: HARRR??? Jess??
J: No..it's JEff.
M: HARRR??? Jeesss??
J: (I'm assuming that he got a little impatient here) NO, it's JEFF.
M: HARRR??? JEsss?? Can you spell your name?
J: J-E-F-F.
M: OHHhhh, okayy...I will let her know.
When i came home that night, my conversation with her went something like this...
MUM: Your friend called.
RENZI: Oh?
M: Yeah...the name's JESS.
R: Jess??! Are you sure?
M: YEAH!
R: But i don't know any jesses.

sighhh....Many others like Jingxi can testify for my mum's deaf nature. To think she kept complaining about my granny's hearing!
The irony of it all. tsk.
