The premise

Here’s the bit.

At a house party neither of them was invited to, two old rivals meet over a table of party food and swap stories about how they sneaked in. One mother thinks she has scored a point by spreading word that the other's son is living with his girlfriend outside marriage, but her rival turns the accusation into a boast about her son's romantic stamina. Each mother then tries to top the other with ever more outlandish claims about her son's conquests, from fleets of taxis to national statistics, until the duel ends on the pair's familiar parting shot.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

Funny, I don't remember anything in the Gita about that one.

My son is not living with his girlfriend, he's living with several girlfriends.

Really? Well, how big is his danda?
