NSM, how has Galoisien lied to his mother in the past?

Quote:
I did suddenly remember why I found some conversations so tedious though. It's like parents don't seem to take your words for anything and you have to repeat and reassure them over and over about your health, rent and other bureaucratic aspects of life. They ask, "ARE YOU SURE?" and you have to say for the billionth time, "YES!"
I don't understand why you're extrapolating your mother's particular idiosyncracies to "parents" as a whole.

I also don't get how saying "Are you sure you ... (have enough money, aren't sick, don't need my help in some way)" translates to passionless and incurious.

Honestly, galoisien, something is missing in your ability to read people emotionally.
