Reddit/lame_excuses_Reddit users wasted no time recognizing the pattern.
#1 Confused about who was really feeling cold. Is it you or her?
#2 The kind of questions and responses you get when you lose something.
#3 When your mother calls you by another person's name, or even your pet's name.

#5 Delivering shocking news in the middle of a normal conversation.
#6 Their responses and their corresponding meanings.
#7 You should be able to give them updates about your whereabouts.
Some of these replies are pure chaos.
This gets real similar to a Redditor questioning their mom’s close friendship with the neighbor.
#8 They are the human CCTV.
#9 When they suddenly ask these types of questions.
#10 Direct-to-the-point answers.
#11 Inheritance of traits, but just the positive ones because the negative ones are from your father.
#12 Don't believe it, even if they say so.
And somehow, the guilt trips always land.
#13 Every single time.
#14 They know the effects of not drinking enough water.
#15 Don't look for them on her face; look elsewhere.
#16 Guilt trips just hit differently.
#17 When you ask for money and they give you this answer.
That answer is basically a family classic.
#18 The answer might be no because you and your friend are not the same person.
#19 This is when counting numbers gets scary.
#20 If your mother is calling your name like this, it will make you panic more than class recitations do.

The comments have shown how mothers can be savage, brutally honest, and confusing at times. Yet, they reveal their different affectionate sides, sometimes their imperfections too, but they are still amazing.
