Today, my mom had to go to one of her relatives’ funeral. She came to borrow a black scarf from me, but the only one I own has grey skulls printed on it. Yes, she took it anyway. FML

Sounds like your mother doesn't know the definition of appropriate attire.

This was posted from Tunisia, so it's likely OP's mom needed the scarf to wear as a hijab. Had she gone without one, she would have been considered to be wearing inappropriate attire anyway. Could she have worn a different color than black? Maybe, but that may have been equally frowned upon. It seems like a losing situation all the way around for OP's mom.

Solid catch to the guy who first replied. Didn't see it was from Tunisia. I was referring to the skulls at a funeral though, not the color.

She is most likely embarrassed by her mother wearing her own inappropriate scarf to a funeral.

What matters is that she will be there to pay her respect.

"Oh, my god, do you see what Hellen is wearing?!" "No, but I'm sort of preoccupied with, you know, greiving the immense loss of somebody I loved." "But SKULLS!"

Despite this amazingly fascinating story of eccentric emo goth Great Aunt Hellen, I feel compelled to point out the handy little feature known as private messages.

Yeah, but they don't have happy endings, so who cares?

Divorce? You must have an… interesting relationship with your parents.

she could've just tried it upside-down .. ? maybe that might've worked because some are just printed on one side.
