Mom Wants to Shop Alone

>out shopping with mom >just wandering around the mall >ma says she wants to browse a store coming up >it's a women's intimate apparel place (bras, panties, etc.) >say "ok", wander over to a bench outside the store and sit down >look up to see ma just standing there staring at me >she asks what I'm doing >tell her I'm not really comfortable browsing that kind of stuff with her so I'll wait outside >she says something like "but we're shopping together today, come spend some time with me" >politely refuse again >she looks at me silently with a grumpy face before she goes in alone >she comes back out a minute later empty handed >we continue along with our shopping but she seems grumpy now >suggest we grab lunch to try and lighten the mood >after we eat, we decide to head home >right as we leave the mall parking lot, ma pulls into another nearby plaza >she says she wants to check one of the stores here as well >it's another intimate apparel place >politely tell her I'll wait in the car >she starts to get upset again before trying a few more times to convince me to come with her >she eventually goes in alone and comes back a minute later empty handed >rest of the car ride home was in complete silence >ironically, what did she mean by this?

A Pepe greentext tells the story of a son shopping with his mother, refusing to enter lingerie stores, and repeatedly waiting outside or in the car. His mother becomes visibly upset and leaves the stores empty-handed, creating an awkward silent ride home. The joke is the narrator’s exaggerated confusion about his mother obviously wanting companionship, phrased as if her behavior were an incomprehensible social mystery. This meme is sent as a reaction to deliberately missing an obvious implication or pretending not to understand someone’s feelings.
