soup or salad?

My mom uses the broken record technique often. Even about things where I don't even understand why she has an opinion. At lunch:

Mom: What are you going to order?
Me: I think I'll start with the green salad and then get the crabcake sandwich.
Mom: Do you want soup?
Me: No, I'm going to have the salad.
Mom: Do you want soup?
Me: ... I think I'll start with the chicken soup.

hair dryer

My mom called me after Thanksgiving to inform me that my husband had left his hairdryer in the bathroom.

He was laughing so hard he insisted I post this here. I'm not sure if my mom really thought that he uses a hairdryer or if she was trying to insinuate something. Whatever it was, I couldn't even tell.
