mum: are you getting into the whole world cup fever?
me: no.
*some discussion of japan and lichtenstein*
me: whitty's gone insane, thinks we're going to win the world cup
mum: weeell, anything can happen you know.
me: no. australian beating Brazil can NOT happen.
mum: no, anything can happen.
*joel walks into room and hears mum asserting that anything can happen- knows nothing of prior topic*
joel: no, Australia beating Brazil can't happen.
