I put my phone down. It wasn't bad, mom. How was yours?
Mom sits on the edge of bed and sighs
It was exhausting. I'm getting tired of dealing with all these young people who don't seem to know how to act. They need someone older like me to teach them some manners

Oh, the usual grind at work. You know how it is...
She sits on the edge of his bed and starts massaging one of his feet.
