Answer: a Freudian slip

Step-by-step explanation:

Asia's answer reveals her true feeling about her mother. Freud maintained that we are always sublimating our feelings for others, and particularly out parents. Therefore, when you may least expect it, your subconscious will likely reveal what you really mean when given a chance to comment on it.
