My mum is a really funny person when she means not to be . She took the family for a holiday to Istanbul in 2008 . One night , we were a bit lazy to go find food . So we decided to try room service . Now , she ' s wasn ' t a big fan of creamy pasta and the menu didn ' t quite have what she wanted . She wanted a seafood marinara . So , she decides to order off menu . We , her children strongly opposed this for several reasons 1 . the staff was barely able to communicate in english . 2 . ordering off the menu was embarrassing . She explains to the person on the other end of the phone I would like a seafood spaghetti please . But instead of a cream sauce , make it tomato based and goes on explaining how to prepare it . Half an hour later , the food arrives . She receives a bowl of spaghetti . Topped with tomato puree . We laughed our asses off at her for not listening and getting what came to her . We still bring it up from time to time . It was hilarious
