My mom does not like animals. She'd never harm an animal and if one needed help she'd help it (if she wasn't too scared to do so)...but she doesn't like them. Are you saying there's something wrong with her?
Oh you just had to know someone was gonna come off with this!
I don't know your mother, so no I am not, however, knowing that, yes, I would be more wary of her as a person than of you, since you do obviously like animals. Chances are she has had some traumatic experience or just has a phobia, which is probably different than what I mean.
I think anyone who has been around at all has met someone who dislikes animals for no apparent reason at all. If you want to group your mother with them and assume that I am saying that there is something wrong with your mother, feel free. It's one more reason to make me a villain. Enjoy!
Is there anything else I can say inadvertently to offend you so you will have more justification to have disdain for me? Let me know, if it's helpful to you to have a bad guy around, I'll gladly play the role.
