I doubt that my mother will ever want to fly with me (she gets airsick if she goes in the loft on a windy day), but she came out with a classic when I told her I was starting to fly gliders, several years ago.
"Isn't that a very dangerous sport"? she asked me, very concerned. When I told her it was sailplanes, not hang gliders and possibly safer than driving to the airfield, she immediately said "There you are, driving to the airfield AS WELL!".
Mothers, eh?
