Of all the random calls from my parents I've ever received - and I've received a lot - the most random is probably the one I just had from my mom.

(J is me, M is my mom.)

J: Hello?
M: Hi sweetie! I have a question.
J: Yeah?
M: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...who is Splinter?
J: ...um, okay, he's the Turtles' mentor.
M: I see.
J: He's a martial artist who got turned into a giant rat by toxic ooze.
M: Ahahaha, I'm a rat...
J: ?
M: Okay, that's all I wanted to know. Talk to you Sunday!
J: ...bye?

Now I am imagining that your mom is playing Splinter in a feminist version of TMNT, for the stage, of course. And maybe it's a musical. *plots*

Haha, that would have been amusing; sadly, the truth turned out to be something much less interesting (one of the young Latino poets in the Latino Writers Collective said, in a very nice way, that if they were the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles then she'd be their Splinter XD).
