Teen: Mom, wait until you see what happens when the power goes out.
Mom: You mean when their phone lines are down?
Teen: Did know that phones went down back then?
Mom: Yes.
Teen: Well, it was because there weren't cell phones and they had phone calls go through wires.
Mom: I know. I was a kid at the time.
Teen: But this is different, Mom. You just don't understand! (Eye roll / stomp away)
