Yes, this is God speaking and I just wanted to remind you to send Catriona more money.

Now why couldn’t I think of a snappy comeback like that?
To be fair to my mother, it was more that they’re coming up tomorrow and bringing a load of furniture with them; apparently, they’d just wrapped it all up neatly and stacked it in the ute when the heavens opened.
I think it was more of a “now, how do I tell my daughter that her sideboard may just have been exposed to a deluge?”
Still pretty funny, though.
