Real Conversations with Mom: Big Bang Theory

Mom:  So is he famous or something?

Me:  He's Wil Wheaton.

Mom:  And he beat this other guy up when he was little?

Me:  No, he didn't show up for a Star Trek convention.  Do you know who Wil Wheaton is?

Mom:  No.  A Star Wars guy?

Me:  He played Wesley Crusher in Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Mom:  Okay, now I understand.

[pause]

Me:  You don't know who Wesley Crusher is, do you?

Mom:  Well, no, but I wanted you to stop telling me.

[pause]

Mom: Alright, you can go ahead and tell me.

Me:  Okay, so Captain Picard...

Mom:  Just wait a minute while I turn off my hearing aid.

Me:  You are so mean.

Mom:  I didn't know that.  Tell me more.

Sigh.
