Mother Daughter shopping trip

"Mom, Mom MOM!  I need you to help me pick out a dress.  Right now.  Please?"

Janie looked up from the table, which was covered in greasy engine parts.  Lynn stood in front of her, with a huge smile on her face.  "What for?"

"I got invited to a fancy ball!  And I can't go modern, because it's-"

"Are you traveling in time for it?  You're able to?"

"No...  It's a historical masquerade."  Lynn looked disappointed for a moment.  "I'm never going to be able to do what you can."

"Yes you will."  Janie said, going back to her work

"I'm going with a guy."

"That's nice, dear."  the older woman frowned, and looked around for a rag to clean off a part.

"We're eloping afterwards, and I'm moving to the mountains and having 10 babies."

"Hand me that solvent- it's the green stuff in the glass bottle."  Janie pointed, and smiled briefly at Lynn when she handed it to her "Be careful, alright?  Don't drink too much."

Lynn slammed her hand on the table top. "Mom!  You aren't listening."

"I'm in the middle of a project."  Janie said, looking up at her daughter

"You're always in the middle of a project.  I need you to go shopping with me, and pick out shoes and maybe have a latte afterwards!"

"I will.  AFTER I finish."

Janie glanced back down at where her project should have been, and realized that the table was now missing.

"Can we go now?"  Lynn asked, after a moment of shocked silence.

"What did you do?  ...Set the boat to whenever you want to go, and we'll go."

Lynn obeyed, and the two never mentioned the table and project again.  Instead, they bought a fancy 18th century dress, shoes and accessories, then returned to 2012 to have lattes.
