outrage

Mum rang me with a note of outrage and terror in her voice to announce that she had just received a package from a catalogue firm and that she HAD NOT ORDERED ANYTHING from them! She felt they were persecuting her by sending things she hadn't ordered. I asked her to open the package while she was on the phone, and it turned out to be a blouse that she suddenly remembered that she'd ordered 2 days ago....Later in the day, I reminded her of this to show her how unreliable her memory is - she didn't believe me and it didn't go down well...
