Stuck In The Bot

I was late for a family lunch and said I was stuck on the phone with my bank’s chatbot. My mum asked how long. I said 45 minutes. She asked what it was about. I hadn’t prepared, so I said “fraud.” Now my entire family thinks my identity was stolen. My uncle has sent me three articles and offered to lend me money until it’s sorted. I accepted. I’m too far in to explain I was just asleep.

In fairness, someone did steal your Sunday. It was you. Now you've moved on to your uncle.
