At the moment
I am on the internet.
My parents house only has one line and as such my actions are blocking it.
My mums brothers/sister normally call on a Sunday night.
Me being on the internet stops any calls from getting through.
My mum is watching a film atm.
Me being on the internet stops her from being disturbed (by pesky phone calls).
Do you think she was thank me for this altruistic act?
