I pretty much do the same thing, let mom guide the topics. I try hard not be contrary even though some of what she says is really out there. I also interject happenings in the family. She sometimes picks up on that and will ask about it several times more like she’s trying hard to crasp what I said.

I try to steer my mom to pleasant things such as her wedding day or I will say things like can you believe how lucky Dad was when the lottery first started? Practically every scratch off was a winner,
