What Happens When Mum Gets the Day Off

My mum's been working like crazy the past two weeks to submit a tender proposal, so today, she took the day off and spent it sleeping in. I was at work when mum decided to get bored and started this wacky SMS exchange with me about my two pet fish called Batman and Robin. We obtained them two months ago, and they're the first pets our family has EVER had.

Mum (11.25am):
Fish like going crazy cos tank very cloudy.

Sonia (11.27am):
They're alright don't worry. I clean them once a week. Due tonight or tomorrow.

Mum (11.28am):
They not high tech. U better train them. Your SMS sound shocked it. They jumped up n down.

Sonia (11.38am):
Maybe they're just looking for attention. If I've time I'll research their behaviour.

Mum (12.00pm):
I showed your SMS to fish. They said U bad. U need attention that's why your room n laundry overflowing. Oh a dog named Shadow (not Melody's) missing. Reward. Seen in our area.

Sonia (12.08pm):
Haha U must be very bored. Havin a good day off? Will clean room tomorrow. Goin out tonight.

Mum (12.12pm):
Yea just had breakfast. 2 rounds laundry. Cleaning. Cooking started. House no sound. Fish only.

Sonia (2.13pm):
Breakfast at 12pm? Naughty. Glad to know fish are entertaining you. Or is it the other way round? Had duck for lunch. Yum.

Mum (3.30pm):
Had cooked lunch. Sweet sour fish (not yours). Potato salad. Now to bed. Did lots of work.

Sonia (3.34pm):
Phew. Was worried bout the fish for a moment. OK good night.
