She was trying to be clever on the phone with her Mom. that's all. OK, not nice to make it sound like you will take her somewhere cheap, but she wasn't thinking, she just said it.
Too bad she doesn't stand up and take notice of you. I would have been entertained all day if it had been my husband who had to crawl in the door and then fixed his leg in the workshop. We still laugh our heads off around here about the time my husband severed a piece of his thumb on a metal table at 5 in the morning and wanted me to put a bandaid on the spurting stump. He still can't see the humor in the situation even 4 years later.
