She loves you irregardless of your lackadaisical attitude towards her.
You think she is bothersome with her incessant nagging.
She loves you despite your indifference.
Someday you are going to miss her.
You will pine for the long chats over mugs of hot chocolate in the very lived-in
kitchen at the old family home.
kitchen at the old family home.
You will wish that she is still here to listen to your mindless jabber.
You will search for her for anecdotes and remedies for relief of every ailment from
diarrhoea to depression!
diarrhoea to depression!
But for the moment, you think mother is a pain!
Tell your MSN friends they will have to go. Mother is on the line!
"Hi Mum, what's up?"
"Have you eaten" mother asks. "It's cold outside. Put on a blazer.
Don't stay out too late.
Don't stay out too late.
Did I mention to you not to refuel in the nights?
Even petrol stations are not safe any more!"
Even petrol stations are not safe any more!"
You roll your eyes and imitate her rantings, making funny faces.
Mother continues, " Make sure you don't pick up strangers.
Never just trust anyone even if he is in uniform!"
Your eyes turn heaven-wards as you wait impatiently for her to finish.
"Sweetie, are you still there. Say something." Mother suspects you may have
hung up on her ..... again !
hung up on her ..... again !
"Ya, Ma, stop nagging"....
Mum sighs with relief. "Okay, but I love you."
Mother has stopped fretting over the sort of movies that you should watch,
the friends you keep, the junk food you eat or the late nights.
the friends you keep, the junk food you eat or the late nights.
She thinks your multi-colored spiky punk look is spooky but she keeps her opinion
to herself. But is some matters she just can't help herself.
to herself. But is some matters she just can't help herself.
Stop driving so fast! And don't text while you are going at 120km/hour.
How do kids manage that? Making love texting while maneuvering peak time traffic!
