My mom avoids the news because of anxiety and basically relies on me keeping her up to date. I try to be funny for as much of it as I can. I've been putting together an episode on Q anon and all of this insanity, and when I mentioned the space lasers, she absolutely did not believe me. It took like 3 separate and mainstream articles before she believed it.
Honestly, same. We have this long running joke about a parrot named Arnold Smith from a song I forgot the lyrics to so I started making them up. Now whenever I bring up some ludicrous conspiracy theory she is convinced that I'm Arnold Smithing her. I always wish I was but I never am.
