Thanks Mom!

She's bald! I admit it. She is bald. That's ambiguous, I know, so let me explain... I was sitting in the kitchen eating my late dinner alone by myself when my mom came in from the living room to chat. She talked about the ladies she works with and how her day was while she wiped down some stuff in the kitchen. When she got to the table I noticed she had stopped talking. I looked up from my plate to see why and I see her staring at me. She says "What's that on your face?" pointing to the spot she was referencing, only on her face to show me visually where. I, being a normal person, respond with "what?" as I touch my face where she indicates. "It looks swollen" she replies leaning in to get a better look. "Oh it's probably a pimple or something" I say, trying to finish my meal. Mom responds with "Well don't touch it, it's nasty looking."  "Wow! Thanks mom," I reply sarcastically. :) (P.S- It was the tiniest little thing that wouldn't be noticeable unless you are a parent looking you over inch by inch, like my mom, lol)

I guess as a mother she thinks she can violate the politeness maxims such as tact because she doesn't minimize cost to the hearer (me) and consideration because she doesn't minimize my discomfort. However, I wasn't embarressed because I guess I'm used to it or because it's coming from family. But either way, she doesn't minimize potential discomfort.

Do you all have family or friends like this who feel they are in a position or relation with you that they don't have to be face-saving? Instead, they are simply bald in their utterances.
