    Yeah, I don’t know mom and maybe she deserves it or it makes more sense in context, but to me that comment sounds like “you’re old and you’re going to die soon.”

      The saying, “Society grows great when old men plant trees under whose shade they know they’ll never sit,” is pretty well known. Unless you’re (mom) looking to pick a fight over some ‘bitch, that’s a whole new sentence’ interpretative inference, SOP’s statement can’t be taken as ““you’re old and you’re going to die soon.””
