conulyI thought at first she was too lazy to google, but I overheard the tail end of a conversation last time ("What city did geese save?") and it turns out she's boasting that her daughter knows everything. The people she's boasting to don't realize that I'm quite possibly within seconds of looking up everything on google whenever she calls me, but so far I haven't had to do that, so that's all right.
What I can't work out is if I simply know everything she's likely to ask me, or if she's only asking me things she knows I know. After all, she must have known when she called me that I knew geese saved the city of Rome, because every time I hustled the girls away from some geese when they were little* I would intone that fact to them as proof that geese should be treated with caution. It's really a fun little fact to intone: Geese saved the city of Rome, you know.
* Geese kinda scare me.
