What??????

To give you all a taste of why my mind is looking for someplace else to live I will give you a sample of a real life conversation I had last night with my Mother. This is while we were trying to find something on tv, scanning thru 300 + channels and me every other second saying "how's this Mom?".
Me: Hunt for Red October is on Mom, did you ever see it? It's really a good movie and Sean Connery is in it. I know you like him".
Mom: I do like him. He's Scottish you know. I never saw that movie. Is it bloody?
Me: No. It's about submarines.
Mom: I don't like war movies.
Me: It's a good story. It has a good cast too.
Mom: Anything else on?
Me: Surfing, surfing, surfing.
Mom: Isn't NCIS on tonight?
Me: No Mom, I think it's on Monday nights.
Mom: Ok, I like that show.
Me: How bout Without a Trace, you like that.
Mom: That's a really good show. Anything else on?
Me: I went thru all the channels twice. Want to try "Hunt for Red October? If you hate it I'll find something else on. There's always Without a Trace.
Mom: I think I'd rather watch NCIS.
Me: It's not on tonight Mom. We can watch it tomorrow night.
Mom: Are you sure? I think we saw it last Sunday.
Me: No Mom, look - see the menu? It's not on tonight.
Mom: I like him.
Me: Who?
Mom: The guy on NCIS.
Me: Ok Mom, I'm going to put Hunt for Red October on.
Mom: I'm just going to get a cup of coffee.
Me: You're going to miss the beginning.
Mom: That's ok, I think I saw this once.
Interlude: Mom makes cofee - movie starts
Mom: This isn't the movie I was thinking about. I never saw this movie. Are you sure NCIS isn't on tonight? I wouldn't want to miss it.
Me: Here's the clicker Mom. (please beat yourself over the head with it) Why don't you see if I missed it (22 times).
I went to bed.
