I had never imagined people would use my mother, my father, etc. as possessive statements. That someone would interpret it this way is mind-boggling to me.
It's not uncommon. I remember when I was a kid visiting my grandmother's house. My cousins lived with her at the time and one said to me "She's not your grandma, she's mine!"
Yeah, I've had relatives say that to me, too. Silly nonsense.
I should have said "I had never imagined people would use these and mean it that way."
