Other gems include:

- “We don’t ask why when she says no.”
- “Suzy ain’t her child.”
The viral clip, racking up views and shares by the hour, has struck a chord not just for its humor, but for its authenticity.
For many, Ava and Gabby’s back-and-forth perfectly captures the loving discipline, high standards, and protective instincts that often define Black motherhood.
