Had to delete my comment because I assumed that it was a typo, but it is possible that they had two mothers who both picked up the phone at the same time

landlines were shared within a single household - you could pick up the phone on the headset upstairs, and someone in the kitchen downstairs would already be talking to someone. you'd have to apologize and hang up quickly because you just intruded on their conversation. thus, two people could pick up the phone at the same time. Frankly I think that's giving AngryMan too much credit, I'm convinced they're just an idiot who doesn't review before they post.

Logic seems sound. lol. You're most likely right. No need to look into it further, really
