A mother was left speechless when her grown daughter spoke to a gentleman in her presence.
Palesa Mdiya took to her TikTok account (@judithntombi7) to share the look on her mother's face as her 32-year-old sister partook in a conversation with an unknown man. Sitting on a couch and warmly dressed in a gown and beanie, the strict mom was in utter disbelief.
She looked at her daughter off-camera and then at Palesa, back to the daughter and back to the camera.
Palesa filled her caption with laughing emojis and said:
"She couldn't believe it."

Speaking to Briefly News, Dr Keitumetse 'Tumi' Mashego stated that several factors impact how parents parent their children, such as their upbringing, culture, religion, personality, experiences, expectations, internalised view of the world, self or others, and view of how one should behave in front of authority figures.
She adds:
"Some parents internalise a way of parenting inherited from the former generations without questioning it.
"The mother could have certain perspectives or views about what is acceptable. Therefore, it reflects her reference and behaviour expectations in this specific incident between opposite genders."
The woman's expression, thanks to her firstborn's actions, made people rush to the comment section to share their laughter. Some also shared similar experiences with their parents and guardians.
@nonhle_sn laughed and wrote:
"These parents shall be trained."
@pamkhuli8 told the online community:
"I'm 30 and married, but I still can't respond to 'I love you' on the phone with my hubby in front of my mom."
@bluediamond2221 called Palesa's sister their hero, adding:
"Parents must be shaken every once in a while."
@iiheartt.frankocean spoke about the mother's reaction, referring to a popular quote from media mogul Oprah Winfrey:
"She was silenced."
@mabeengesi laughed and told Palesa:
"I am your sister, and I am not ashamed."
In a related article, Briefly News reported about a mother who made a video of removing her daughter's room door to discipline the child.
The woman shared that removing her room door was better than seizing the teenager's phone. Reactions to the mother's disciplinary method were, as some said, too far to punish the child.
