..but you know, that's how Mom is. She cries at the drop of a hat.

A drop of what now?

The drop of a hat.

Why is she crying about falling hats? Was she hypnotized or something?

No, dude, it's...it's just an expression. How have you not heard this phrase before?

Don't look at me like I'm the crazy one. You're the one forcing your mother to cry about gravity-induced hat tragedies.

I can't live like this.
