Pussy Powah!

Okay so in my last journal I mentioned something regarding the odd/funny stories about stuff that happens to me... And I would love to put this one in a full story, but it was short and recent, so I'm just leavin' a journal of it. Here goes.
For those of you who don't know, I do accounting and paperwork in an office setting as the assistant to the VP of a small business operated by my mum and dad... with whom I have rather poor relations due to the whole gay thing. :P It doesn't pay nearly as well as it should, but that's another story.
Yesterday, I found an error in the shipping reports, and needed to have them corrected by the shipping manager, who had left for the day. The next person in charge was my mum. So I brought the problem to her attention, and ask her to fix it, 'cos it was her job as per the chain of command. She didn't understand that I literally didn't know how to operate the shipping equipment, and got... rather pissy.
Anyhow at one point towards the end of the conversation, things went a bit like this:
Mum: "GEEZ! You're just the king of arguing aren't you?"
Me: "Well I prefer 'Queen', but that's besides the point."
Mum: "Oh no! I am NOT calling you a damn 'queen'"
Me: "That's fine, ya don't need to."
Mum: "No. You're not a freakin' QUEEN 'cos ya don't have a vagina. YOU have a penis. I have a vagina!"
Now mind you this last bit was rather loudly shouted, and some other coworkers were nearby to hear this part... and I'm trying hard not to bust a gut laughing 'cos of how many one-liners she just opened herself up for. The best of which, being adopted an all, would have been, "At least mine's functioning."
Of course the RIGHT thing to say would have been...
Nothing. Absolutely fucking NOTHING.
So I said, "Woo! Cunt power! Good onnya!"
I was promptly sent home for the day and told not to come in the next day, and pay would be docked for that shift, as the other coworkers of mine were snickerin' and giggling at what transpired.
All in all, I'm happy with how it turned out. And when I go back to work Friday to find out if I still have a job, I'm going to be grinning all day.
