I'm trying to study

A phrase u say to ur mom on the phone when ur not actually studying. Usually followed by "take ur time" cuz u wanna play as much as possible before ur mom comes home. and then u do everything last minute so ur mom doesn't punish u.

Mom: Are you studying?
Daughter/Son: I'm trying to study
Mom: Great *ends call*
Daughter/Son: ok I have 2 more hours to enjoy and my last 1 hour will consist of actual studying
