[quote=Anonymous]I am the daughter of this gem:

[i]My mother was visiting the city from her upper-middle class suburbs in which she's lived for 40 years (she is about 60). We are white, and in a car, at an intersection. A black man carrying a long (non-fold up) umbrella strides across the street in front of us.

My mom: Oh, there are a lot of those where we live.
My sister and I: A lot of what? A lot of black people?
My mom: Black people carrying assault rifles down the street, yes
My sister and I: In your GATED senior community of upper-middle class people?
My mom: Yes
My sister and I: Dad, do you find this to be the case?
My dad: No. I have no idea what your mother is talking about.
My sister: Mom, that was an umbrella, not an assault rifle
My mom: well, it looked like an assault rifle
Me: Mom, have you ever seen an assault rifle in real life?
My dad: No she hasn't.[/i]

My mother died on September 1st. I talked with her earlier in the day.  She was in a rehab for a broken foot. The rehab was closed to visitors because of rampant Covid in the rehab. I told my mother as soon as it lifted I would come visit her.

Me: We haven't seen each other since 2019. And what could be better than seeing me?
My mother: [Sister]

She said this without missing a beat. I always said my sister was her favorite and she always denied it. Even my sister admitted she got favored by my mom.  I love that basically the last thing my mom did was admit it. [/quote]
