    My mom is the opposite of that. She’ll reduce entire sentences to one or two words that are utterly incomprehensible without the larger context. Also, and this is more of a regional thing where i’m from rather than something specific about her, but when talking about other people she’ll often just use a generic slang in my language that just means “person” to refer to them, as if assuming i know who she’s talking about. So picture your story, broken up in 50 two word sentences, with all the names replaced with “that guy/girl”, except starting from the end, with me trying to work my way back enough to understand it.
