Families are allowed to say things that others can never get away with.
So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that during a large celebration, surrounded by her ex’s family, Holly explained to one in-the-dark family member, “I have cervical cancer.”
A nephew added, “Well, at least you’re not using it.” Just in case you need a reminder, Holly is single, boyfriendless, and recently diagnosed with the big C.
“Use it or lose it,” her young son added with a deadpan look. The faces at the neighboring table looked aghast.
We all, including Holly, laughed long and hard. That’s how families are. We can get away with saying the things no one else can.

Friends too!
I was aghast when I read it was her son who said what he said.
However, I concur.
