The day after TG my sister and I went to her house with a plate of food. We sat and talked for an hour (we tried to be as normal as possible). At some point, I yawned, then my sister yawned; it's theorized that contagious yawning is a sign of empathy. Mother did not yawn. I always thought she had no empathy. When I take her shopping (she stopped driving so it's on me to take her), she's pretty awful to other people. I chastise her saying, "How would you feel if someone said that to you?" Then I realized she's not empathetic, which makes sense because how can you be so awful to a child?
