I think my mom overestimates my abilities. Paraphrased to the best of my knowledge.

Mom: Dee had a revelation in regard to her movie. She's thinking of making it totally or partway-animated.
Me: Nifty.
Mom: So I told her that because you have such an interest in art--
Me: I can't do animation.
Mom: Well, I know that, but I thought that if you spent some time with some of the animators, you could pick up a few things.
Me: ::stares:: People study animation in college for years before they're capable to doing anything movie-quality.
Mom: Well, you could give it a try.
Me: ::continues to stare:: Maybe if they were doing digitally enhanced rotoscope like Waking Life, I could manage something decent, but--
Mom: Great! I'll tell Dee.
Me: Wha?
