As I said before, John is very laconic. This lack of flow leads to conversations that I personally find absolutely hilarious. Let's look at this from the second chapter (my translation from the Vulgate):

And three days later there was a wedding in Cana, Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there, and Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding, and they lacked wine.
The mother of Jesus says to him, "They don't have wine."
And Jesus said to her, "What is it to me and you? Woman, my hour is not yet come."
His mother said to the servants, "Whatever he will say to you, do it."
And there were six stone water pots positioned there following the purification methods of the Jews, holding two or three measures each. Jesus says to them, "Fill the pots with water," and they filled them all the way to the top.

I feel this is the equivalent of my family driving on the road and suddenly the battery going out, and then mom turning to me, snapping her fingers, and saying, "Okay, fix this." And me, knowing I'm Lamb of God that came down onto the earth to save mankind, saying, "Mom, my appointed time is not yet upon us." And she replies, "Yeah, yeah, tell me when you're done." Mary just completely ignores Jesus' statement. She doesn't even deign to give him a response. I can totally imagine her rolling her eyes after he says that and then turns to the servants while Jesus seethes in the corner, grumbling, "Geez mom, you're so pushy. Fine, where are these pots? Fill them with water. Man, I can't believe I'm doing this..."
