I called my mom 5 seconds after Adam didn't win American Idol

  • Mom: Hello?
  • Me: Are we stuck in an alternate reality and this is our hell?
  • Mom: When the phone rang I told your dad, "That must be Rebecca".
  • Me: No, seriously. This can't be happening. Somebody fudged the numbers.
  • Mom: I didn't want Adam to win. He is too cocky. But he is clearly the better singer.
  • Me: I know. This must be some sort of elaborate, cruel joke.
  • Dad [in background]: This is bullshit!
  • Mom: Your dad's throwing a fit.
  • Me: I'm going to kill myself.
  • Dad: Does she vote?
  • Mom: What?
  • Dad: Ask Rebecca if she votes.
  • Mom: Do you vote?
  • Me: No.
  • Mom: No she doesn't vote!
  • Dad: Well tell her that's too bad. Because they just announced that he lost by one vote.
