Lol, I guess she doesn't care about what you have to say. Or maybe you just always sound like that to her. Kinda like the teachers on Charlie Brown.

OP, this is a window for great opportunities. Use her lack of attention to your advantage!

Today, our school got portable classrooms for the construction on our school. I had to take a dump really bad, and had to use the built in bathroom. As I was in there I heard laughing. Turns out, every sound you make is an entire broadcast to the class. FML

Today, I had a nice, open chat with my mother. I accidentally let slip that I'm a nymphomaniac. She accidentally let slip that my dad is bad in bed. I don't think either of us will be chatting so openly for awhile. FML

Today, my sister's boyfriend dumped her after a huge fight they had, regarding him getting a haircut without talking to her first.
