Well, after a while with M and mom both in the same house, it was apparent that mom was struggling a little to bit her tongue. I happened in after mom's bath, while she was reading and M was chattering with her sis. Some comment was made, don't know by her or me, pretty incocuous, I think. Then, I think I said something about at least no unpleasant words from anyone.... Mom says, "Well, I almost... I came close a couple times...." She also told me she'd not said much at my little bro's house, other than to say, "Oh, M is being a shithead" which is an unusual way for her to express herself!
Anyway, mom further commented about how M kept chiming in as we were talking on the deck -- plainly didn't care for that (even though that has pretty much been the norm with M -- impulse control and M's mouth....) Anyway, I remember being very slightly annoyed as it happened, but not much. Plainly mom thought it was quite rude.... and intrusive. But, she had to only have thought so.... she didn't say so, and I didn't see any cross look or anything.... But, women have that subliminal way they communicate, I guess....
Which explains the rest of the story.... After my folks went to bed, M and I had pleasant, safe conversation... But, at the end she said, "You know I did have a question for my sister.... And, well, I felt like I was intruding.... so I gave her a call and wandered in the yard talking...."
Interesting. Mom didn't care for the chiming in, said or showed nothing, but still, M ended up realizing / feeling as if she was intruding. In a way she was.... some of what she chimed in was appropriate, but some was just a rude interruption or unnecessary. I suppose part of her knew that and told her she was being impolite....
M, felt like I was intruding.
