Mum: Then go back and change
Me: Affirmative.
Mum: Y u say me like that - the meaning is that which affirms / to say that a thing is
Me: I concur to that factual nugget filled with information
Mum: Wrong channel (a reference to our daily lives as she watches mostly the Mandarin TV channel while I the English speaking ones)
Me: I am deeply apologetic as I am incapable of understanding and discerning the concept of your profound reply
Mum: Not free to talk to u , I need to works, I know your English v good la
Me: I am profoundly thankful and grateful for your rare words of praise in regards to my skills in the language of English, though as the humble person I am, I cannot take full credit without a guilty conscience. Much as I would like to extend my gratitude to all who have bestowed upon me the teachings in the language, I cannot digress in addressing the fact that I am truly woeful for your current status of work as I, on the contrary, am about to be dismissed of school duty, unlike you who must continue yours.
Mum: Ka na sai (you're a shit in Hokkien)
Me: I am sorry, but I beg your pardon?
