The fairies are dead

Ring Ring!!!

Me:  Hello?

Mom:  Gooood morning!  I'm going to town.  Do you need anything while I'm there?

Me:  Toilet paper and dish soap.  

Mom:  Oh.  You sound all grumbly. 

Me:  I just woke up and Oh Shit (my coffee pot) is giving me trouble first thing.  

Mom:  Oh shit.  

Me:  I know.  And, the fairies never showed up.  

Mom:  The fairies?

Me:  The clean-the-house fairies never showed.  The making-coffee fairies must have died.  I haven't seen them for ages...and the kick-the-kids-in-the-ass fairies don't exist.  

Mom:  So what's up with Oh Shit? 

Me:  I don't know.  I set it up, plugged it in and 15 minutes later, the green light was on, so I went to pour a cup.  It was thin and cold.  

Mom:  Oh shit. 

Me:  I know.  But as soon as I put it down, it started percolating again, so I decided to wait.  After a minute or two the green light was back on.  I picked up the pot to pour and  it started perking again.  Taunting me.  "I'm done...Haha!  Just kidding...perk, perk."

Mom:  So you need toilet paper and dish soap?  

Me:  Yeah.  I bought a 4 pack from Cenex last night for 4 bucks.   They had a small bottle of soap too, but they wanted 6 bucks for it.  The thought of spending that much money to wipe my ass and wash a sink load of dishes made me constipate tight as a drum.  Besides, we go through a lot of toilet paper around here.  4 rolls won't last 2 days.  We are assholes evidently   

Mom:  Yes.
