She wanted to tell me that she was out of coffee. Dad bought cases of coffee at 69ยข a can about 10 years ago and she finally used it all up.
I love my mother, but I had to tune her out while she talked and get back to work. Eventually she asked me if I was still there. I said that I had to work to do and people were waiting for me to finish.
I am not a bad son, really, it’s just that I don’t care if she is out of coffee, and I really do have people nagging me at work.

Isnt that Larry’s job?
Larry is retired. He has spent so much time with her that he no longer hears anything that she says.
