EARTHQUAKE IN THE NORTHEAST!!!

After I heard about the earthquake on the east coast yesterday, I called my mother to see if she felt it. Here is the conversation:

Me: hey Mom.
Mom: Matthew, can I call you back? I'm on the phone with Evie.
Me: Oh, I just wanted to see if you felt the earthquake. People are talking about it on Facebook.
Mom: (to Evie) OH MY GOD! EVIE! IT WAS AN EARTHQUAKE! (to me) Matt! I thought it was a mouse!
Me: A mouse?
Mom: Yes, I thought a mouse was in my couch and moving it around. (to Evie) MATT JUST CALLED AND SAID IT WAS AN EARTHQUAKE! IT WASN'T A MOUSE!!! HE HEARD ABOUT IT ON FACEBOOK!
Me: Why did you think it was a mouse?
Mom: Because the couch moved.
Me: The couch moved and you thought it was a mouse?
Mom: Or any kind of rodent. (to Evie) EVIE, I'LL CALL YOU BACK! MATTHEW SAYS IT WAS AN EARTHQUAKE AND HE HEARD ABOUT IT ON FACEBOOK!
Me: I should go.
Mom: Oh my fucking God, it was an earthquake. I picked up all the cushions to find that mouse! All of them!
Me: OK, I'm going back to work.
Mom: It wasn't a mouse! Unbelievable.
Me: Love you!
Mom: The couch shook! Can you believe that! The couch shook! Holy fucking shit!
