it's amazing how most parents have the great talent of telling the exact wrong words at exactly the wrong time. tis somethin of a natural inborn tendency or urge. they don't seem to be able to control themselves. the most irritating part is the way they seem to sometimes appear very cool and casual about it. And when we flare up because of the injustice of it all they ask us in a more or less friendly manner or at times utterly shocked or confused manner, "why are you getting so angry about it?"
pah!!life can be made very miserable without anything to really bother you.
Well, here's an example:
Scene 1: I'm peacefully sitting in front of the computer and watching the movie -The Lord of The Rings- (wearing the headphones and all), when Mum comes in and asks me to help her a little with the chores.
Mum: you could be a bit more cheerful when your helping your mother, you know.
Me: mumble,mumble...(she could have asked me to do it before i sat in front of the computer and when i had absolutely nothing to do)
Scene 2: i finally finish doing the eennyyy wwiiinny chores in the kitchen and go back to the movie.
Mum comes along....
Mum: oh my God, the old man's a bad guy!
Me: no, mummy. The old man no. 1 is a good guy (Gandalf). this is another old man, old man no. 2 (Saruman).
Mum: hum...thum...ugh...phew....(during the fighting scenes)
Me: mumble, mumble..(can't mum just leave me alone....)
Mum: and the little children go on...
Me: they are not children mummy, they're hobbits...little hmmm..... creatures...not little homosapiens
Mum: HOBBITS! whatever that is! (in that most irritating surprise intonation)
Me: THAT'S WHAT I SAID..LITTLE CREATURES..LITTLE CREATURES...
Mum: why are you getting angry... i was just asking...
Me: and i was telling it to you louder to make you understand...
Mum: but you also look angry...don't you know it's so obvious when you get angry..blah, blah. blah,...you should know how to control your emotions...blah, blah, blah... it is important to respect your parents...blah, blah, blah.....
Me: but...
Mum: listen to me....blah, blah, blah.......
i shut up and try to concentrate on the movie
Me to myself: shit! this wouldn't have happened if i had not said anything in the first place and looked calm and composed.
