Last week I managed to (just) avoid falling out with my fully vaxxed mother when she gloated that I couldn't travel on holiday because I hadn't been vaccinated.
This subject came about because she is due to go abroad on the 28th Dec.
Anyway, this morning she called me to wish me merry xmas and told me her husband had tested positive for covid so they are now self-isolating. I managed to not gloat, but I'm wondering if I could have indulged just this once :)
There's a way to indulge just a little without seeming like too much of a prick.
Just a nonchalant comment framed as an innocent question (delivery depends on the tonality) such as "What? (seemingly shocked)... How's that... I thought you were fully vaccinated against covid? (thoughtfully, as if you were really contemplating how that could've happened)"
This gives you satisfactory relief while not seeming like an asshole.
