There, I just replied "me".
My mother
And just for completeness, I just wrote my mother.
(In British English, we'd say "replied TO me" and "wrote TO my mother".)
When your mom said "please ignore", do you:
a. ignore what you are seeing or listening
b. ignore her "ignore"
c. ask more questions in a loop to trick mom
d. think she said "egg lore"
e. think she said "egg more"
.... to be continued? :)
