maternal doublespeak

{this is a phone conversation with my mom.}

b1-66er: i talk to my brother all the time.  sometimes email, mostly TXT.

mom: well that's good, that's okay.

b1: oh, well i'm so glad you approve!

mom: i was just indicating that i understood what you were saying.  that wasn't a comment of appraisal or approval.   <pauses> although it was both!
