Having your mother close the door in your face

The previous night I called home after about two months of not having spoken to my mum. Emails just don't do enough justice when I want to act cute. :P
We talked for about an hour. The great thing about public phones in Australia is how far a single 50 cent coin gets you. You can make all the calls you want on 50 cents. There isn't a limit on how long you wanna talk, or how many calls you make. Brilliant, isn't it? If I can put aside how inherently filthy public phones are, I might just stop using my mobile altogether.
Mum asked the usual questions, what was I cooking, how much have I spent, have I gained weight, how are my results, etc, etc, including her all time favourite question, "Have you found a boyfriend?" I swore her previous questions were some sort of lead up to this.
"No, I don't have time for a boyfriend! I'm either at class, at work, or studying. Where got time for boyfriend?"
"Really no boyfriend?"
"NO!"
There was a pause.
"Unless you want to find me one."
"I send you there to study, I pay for your tuition, your rental, your allowance. I pay for everything and you still expect me to find you a boyfriend?!?!
"That's a bit too much right???"
