Because of the homophony of "buy" and "feed", I read this as "because
my mother does not like chocolate, I did not feed her (presumably
chocolate)".
Klingon has no problem repeating words where English normally would not.
{yuch parmo' SoSwI', SoSwI' vIje'pu'be'}
{yuch parmo' SoSwI', yuch vIje'pu'be'}
