Literally just had this conversation..
Me: I can't sleep.
My mother: Just go to sleep darling.
Me: I CAN'T.
Mother: Of course you can.
Me: No I can't. I never can. Especially in hotel rooms which I have to share. With you.
Mother: hmmmm....
Me: *Sigh*
Mother: Go to sleep darling otherwise you'll be tired tomorrow.
Me: It might be hard for you to get your head around, but I'm physically incapable of even thinking of shutting my eyes right now.
Mother: You need your sleep sweetheart.
Me: then why can't I get it?! Why do I spend every single night tossing and turning and sweating and pacing, and then just end up reading till six in the morning?!
Mother: hmmm....sorry darling?
Me:......never mind.
Mother: Please turn your light out darling. You need your sleep!
Me: is it bothering you?
Mother: No, not really-
Me: have you been listening to anything I've been saying for the past five minutes?
Mother: Yes of course, but-
Me: Mummy, trying to talk to you at this time of night is like having a conversation with a brick wall, so kindly go to sleep before you damage your brain.
Mother: hmmmhummrrrmmm.....sleep well darling, I love you!
Me: *facepalm* I love you too..
