“How to understand my mother
(read with a mirror)
Mom’s reaction
Pretends she doesn’t hear me
Changes the subject
Totally ignores me
“Who’s going to be there? Why do you want to go?”
“We’ll talk about it later.”
Makes a thoughtful face
“”Okay.””
“”Yes.””
What it means
No
Probably not
Perhaps
Yes
Yes (in response to “Can I go to the library?”)”
