Said with no sense of irony

Mom: I'll call you more often, but I will you to call more often, too.
A.: Okay.
Mom: I believe in karma: if you want your daughter to call you, you need to call me.

I didn't say that I didn't plan to insult my daughter in every other conversation (although a friend pointed out the other day that my mocking Gracie's girth was arguably a continuation of a pattern). Besides, that's not the point-- it's not like I never call my parents; it's that my mother has a skewed sense of how often (or rarely) I call, and I'm not about to start calling daily to prove her wrong.
