My folks divorced when I was 8. Dad passed when I was 13. By the time I was 18, mom had been dating for a while.

One day, Mom, her BF and I were sitting around the table cracking jokes and such. Mom said one that was really off-color. I was used to her sense of humor: I had it, too.

I looked over at Mom after she said, “Mom! You’re a dirty old lady.” She chuckled at that but her boyfriend got pissed.

“That’s no way to talk to your mother! You apologize to her right now!”

Cue malicious compliance.

I turned to Mom and said in a very sincere voice, “Mom, I’m sorry you’re a dirty old lady.”

Before her BF could say anything, she chimed in with, “I’m not sorry!”
