"Since no one is speaking, that must be it! Very good, since you asked, I'll answer you! Over all these years, have you ever cared about this old woman? Where were you when I caught a cold? Where were you when I fell and needed an IV for a few days and nearly passed away? Have any of you nephews or grandchildren come to see this old woman? Did any Tom, Dick, or Harry even check on me?
