[quote=Anonymous]Yes my mom has always tended to do this but has gotten increasingly bad. At my wedding shower she made some reference to Audrey Hepburn and said “you probably don’t know who that is.” I said yes, I know. And then she continued to harp on how I wouldn’t know who she is… in front of all her friends. It was so embarrassing for her! And this was 12 years ago when she was 65 or so. And the repeating things 10 times. And she’s always had an annoying ability to just monologue her inner thoughts at me while we’re on the phone. It’s not a conversation it’s a painfully long and looping free association session. I think maybe it’s loneliness but she has a confidante (my dad) and even some good friends. Anyway we’ve moved to mostly texting over the past decade but she’s trying to get me to talk more on the phone with her, lately. It’s just… not a conversation. [/quote]
