Well...that's an interesting sentence to hear first thing in the morning...
It's 11:30. The sun is out, the birds are chirbing their blithe songs, and of course, it is interupted by the high-pitched shrill of the phone. No matter...
"Hello?"
"Hello darling!"
"Oh, hi Mom!"
"Are you up?"
"*pause, followed by a sarcastic tone*No, mom, I'm still asleep."
"*laugher*Well, of course you are up."
"So, what can I do for you?"
"Katie, are you drunk?!"
"What? NO!"
"You sound drunk!"
"Mom, I hate alchoholic drinks, and I wouldn't drink it first thing in the morning anyway!"
"But you sound drunk!"
"Mom, I'm still wearing my retainers, that's why!"
"Oh."
"*mutters*'Am I drunk?' Oh please!"
"Okay, well, I'll see you tonight. If you guys are home for dinner they'll be some waiting for you."
"Okay. Love you."
"Love you too."
"Bye."
"Bye, sweetheart."

Then my sister comes in.
"Hey, Kate, who was on the phone?"
"The Pope."
"Really?"
"Mother."
"What did she want?"
"Well, we never really got around to that. Before she could tell me what to do, she accused me of being drunk."
"*pause*Are you?"
"Meagan, what on this green earth makes you think I would be drunk!?!"
"You do sound a little drunk."
"*bares metal laden teeth*It's these!"
"*laughter*Okay, sorry."

Well, these teeth aren't going to stay straight on their own. Bastards.
