three step verification code

my mother has
a three
step verification code
on her phone now.
whenever i call her
she wants
me to tell her
my favorite pasta dish,
the color of her 
parakeet, and the derogatory
name
she used to call
my third and final ex-wife,
if all my answers,
are correct,
lasagna, lime green and
Cruella, she'll
finally believe it's me
on the line.
it's exhausting, but after
she gave away
two thousand dollars
last year to some
Jamaican chap
pretending to be me,
she's taking no
chances.
