THE AGE - An adult woman today was lambasted by her mother for "not having a television in the house".The woman and mother to be was chastised by her mother Wendy McTowel after being called for the fifth time that day about something that she "must" watch on television. The other four calls were regarding more trivial matters such as the reumoured spread of a new strain of the Ebola virus through the Los Feliz district.
"I mean, how rediculous is it," Wendy was quoted as saying during one of her mountain treks through the Himalayas (pictured), "there is so much quality programming on the television and my daughter Jemima doesn't want to be a part of it. How is she going to be able to talk to people unless she has seen what they have seen?"
Wendy then went on to point to her younger daughter Eliza-Jane as a prime example of how a steady diet of the OC, The Simple Life, Everybody Loves Raymond and The Simpsons has made her into a well-rounded young lady also capable of conversing with other ladies and attracting a more suitable male than the one Jemima is currently with, who had this to say.
"Well, it's like, whatever, you know? That's hot. Yeah. Right. Whatever."At which point she was distracted by an ant walking across her foot.
The "lambasted" daughter in question refused to comment, mainly because she never picks up the phone and was half way through a Miles Franklin book - you know, those things you have to concentrate on with words? They're totally hot. Whatever.
