Mom: “Is it just me, or do you ever get sudden compulsions to do really odd things for no reason?”

Me: “Yes, of course. Haven’t you ever observed my behavior?”

Mom: [chortling]

Me: “What odd compulsion did you just get?”

Mom: “Well, I just thought it would be really satisfying to bonk you lightly on the head with this wrapping paper tube.”

Me: “I see. You may do so.”

Mom: [does so]

Mom: “Huh. That was satisfying. Thank you.”

Me: “You’re welcome.”
