The subject: their respective sons and their undying love for their mothers. Each one, as before in life, engages in one-upmanship toward the others when speaking about her own renowned offspring, and no opportunity to boast can ever be missed:

Oh! Mine topped that. He saved money for an entire year and treated me to a fantastic trip to the Caribbean.”
As for me, imagine, three times a week he actually pays a psychiatrist to talk about me.”
