Technically she isn't wrong, the week is a man made construction there are Cycles which we call days but no weeks or even really no years they are just phases of the earths orbit we gave them names, the roman empire for example had a ten day week but it was the babylonians that gave us the seven day week.

Well, not as funny as it was mindscarringly horrible. ;__;
You know thats quite funny for anyone but you but since it was you then that is actually the most screwed up thing here.

As for my mom (since my dad is dead) she sometimes comes out with funny things but always at my expense never at anyone elses so everyone gets to laugh but me.
