Depending on the style of what you're writing, sometimes it can be good to highlight the clichÃ©. Maybe pointing out the clichÃ© of what she is saying "Mother that's such a clichÃ©" then ending with "I guess its my turn for clichÃ©s then" (that's awful! but you get the point hopefully)

Or move the clichÃ© into her speech, and then end with " she sometimes spoke in clichÃ©s, but her intentions were good, and maybe we do speak in different languages..."
