From the story "Mami and Papi (from When I Was Puerto Rican)"

• Mami say that the reason the termites attack Negi's is because she didn’t listen. The termites didn’t decide to attack Negi because she didn’t listen-they’re termites! Why do you think Mami said this to Negi?

Mami likely told this to Negi, because she hoped that it would stop her from choosing not to listen in the future. If Negi believes that termites attack whenever someone doesn't listen, she will likely choose to listen better in the future to avoid the termites.
