This doesn't even sound like an FYL. Since you broke up with your boyfriend, your mum probably took that as you're happier and added a little comedy.

My question is, if you broke up with him why are you sad???

There could be several reasons they had to break up but didn't want to. Going to different colleges, schedules not allowing them to be together often enough, etc. Not every break-up is because someone did something wrong and hurtful.

Hang on there?!? If he mowed your mothers lawn, wouldn't it be another reason to break up with him? And her?? Whatever the case, you're right
