“What I Said”

A week ago (or two), Corinne asked my Mom to scan some photos of the cats for her (we don't have a scanner). Mom asked me what size I want them, and I said "1200 x 1600". She said that's really big and takes a long time.

What I said: "That's just how scanners are."

What she heard: "You don't have anything better to do anyway, so just sit there and scan them."

Now I find out that she also thought I was asking for her to scan them at 1200 dpi or 1600 dpi. I understand the confusion, but these pictures are for the web, not. a high-resolution billboard! :-)
