Stuff My Mom Does

So it's like... today is my mum's birthday.

Almost everyone is mourning over their lost loved ones and I'm supposed to celebrate my mom.  

December 20. 10:45 pm. Just got back home from carolling our head-teacher. Tired, I went straight to bed and fell asleep right away.

December 21. About 3 am.

My mom wakes me up shaking me. "Wake up, wake up, I have something for you."

"Come on, look, here's your Christmas gift!"

"Do you like it?"

"I know you've wanted it."

"So, do you like it?"

... At 3 fucking o'clock in the morning. On a school night. 4 days before Christmas. 

The next Nutella jar was gone in almost 3-4 days, which is a record, knowing me. She made fun of that and reminded me that from now on she won't buy anything containing sugar or chocolate anymore.

Yesterday she went grocery shopping.

She came back with 2 big ass Nutella jars, a bag of mini-Bounties, 2 chocolate bars, and a handful of chocolate waffles.

A few nights ago, I had a huge argument with my mom over the fact that she lets me go to the seaside, outside the city and country alone, but doesn't let me stay over at a friend who wasn't even home alone.

Today I announced her that I'm going to leave for a few days to travel yet again. She just said "Be careful how you leave and how you get home."

So, we went out for my birthday.

My brother was talking with my mom about our reservations and where we were placed. He said he wanted us to sit next to the piano. Right then he realized that there was a great possibility of not understanding each other because of the piano, ergo, not being able to communicate properly.

To which my mom replied: 

"Well, maybe it's better that way."

So one day I come back from school and enter the kitchen and I see this huge silver shopping cart in the middle of it. Empty. Apparently the groceries were too heavy and she didn't want to go twice to the supermarket to get them, so she used it to bring them back home, since there was no one else available at that time to help her out.

Of course, the next day she returned it to the said supermarket, who didn't even notice one of their shopping carts was missing. 

Lovable little creatures aren't they. Especially when they butt in on everything you do. Or when you don't see the logic in what they are doing. Nevertheless, they just want everything that's good for their children.
