That didn't take long

Mom: I think I want some yogurt. Do you want some yogurt?
A.: Mom.
Mom: What?

Pause

A.: I don't eat yogurt.
Mom: What? But yogurt is healthy! Everyone knows yogurt is healthy.

***
Earlier. Mom's Australian friend, E., is on the phone.

A.: I was telling mom about how you were still, as of recently, traumatized about her water restrictions.
E.: It was a nightmare! I'd never experienced anything like it. Does she let you use water? Does she let you wash dishes? Flush the toilet? When you all come visit, I'll let you use as much water as you like.

It's lost in transcription, but we were all laughing uproariously.
