Like maybe she would get triggered or something. Besides, when she said that, my mind came to a complete halt at the ironic humor.
Did you ever see Blade Runner? There's an opening scene where an android is given a voight-comp test (sp!) to see if he is a 'rea'l human. The assessor says, tell me, in your own words, [only the good] things that come to your mind about your mother.
It doesn't go well for the assessor after that.
