96. One side of a mobile phone conversation, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Her mother’s daughter (42):
-     No, Mum, don’t put his sweatshirt on him, it’s too warm today.
-     No Mum, seriously...
-     Well OK, why not carry it over your arm for him, but don’t leave it with him at school, because he’ll lose it....
-     Yes Mum, if he wants cold milk, let him have it cold....
-     Well OK, Mum, warm it up if you must, but just a little...
-     No Mum, don’t make him wear his sweatshirt, I tell you it’s too warm today...
-     Honestly, I don’t know why you bother to ring me, you always do what you want afterwards...

(Gustavo's comment:  She calls because she’s a mother, you’ll be just the same with the sweatshirt wearer...)
