The words in this excerpt that create an annoyed tone are "nags, 'good time'." These words indicate the speaker's frustration with their mother's persistent urging and the sarcastic implication of having a "good time."
Read the excerpt from "An Hour With Abuelo".
Anyway, after my mother nags me for about a week, I let her drive me to Golden Years. She drops me off in front. She wants me to go in alone and have a “good time” talking to Abuelo. I tell her to be back in one hour or I'll take the bus back to Patterson. She squeezes my hand and says, “Gracias, hijo,” in a choked-up voice like I'm doing her a big favor.
