My phone rings; the caller ID shows mom's cell phone.

A.: Hello?
Mom: You know, I think about you every time I use this hammock. [I gave it to her]. Today, it's just perfect. I'm right over the lake, and the water is crystal-clear and clean. It's a perfect day to be over the lake.

[Mom waxes poetic about how perfect the lake is for a few more minutes, all under the premise of thanking me for the hammock].

Mom: What about you? Where are you?
A.: Home...
Mom: Is it at least cool in your house?
A.: It's not bad...
Mom: Do you have AC or fans.
A.: Fans.
Mom: Oh, okay. It's so perfect here by the lake.
