Me: “That was my mom on the phone. She says ‘hi’.”
RR: “‘Hi’. [LONG PAUSE] Oh, bother.”
Me: “What’s wrong?”
RR: “Oh, nothing really. [PAUSE] It’s just that I wish I would have said, ‘Word to your mother’.”
Me: “Oh, riiight. Of course you do.”

Well, can you blame me for being sorry to have missed that golden opportunity? How often does the chance arise to say "word to your mother" in that context?
Also, you left out the rest of the conversation.
Deals: "Would you like to try again?"
RR: [Pause.] "Yes."
Deals: "That was my mom on the phone. She says 'hi.'"
RR: "Word to your mother."
Haha!
HA, love the line and love that you redid the convo to use it.
Should I feel old that that saying was popular when I was in high school?
Where for art though Trevor????

If I remember correcly this is from my teen idol Vanilla Ice???
You know, the other day I was reminiscing about the time in junior hight that I WOKE RR UP so that she could listen to "Ice Ice Baby." It was the music that I liked. And then I realized that he'd ripped it off from David Bowie and Queen and that's why I liked it (and why it sounded so familiar). And I hated him for tricking me into liking such a lame song.
I remember listening to that Vanille Ice song at a junior high dance and doing that group dance that was so popular way back in those days. You know, where everyone sticks one foot in the cirle, then sticks it out, and no, I am not referring to the Hokey Pokey, if that's what you're thinking.
Step, pause, step, pause, step, pause, step.
