Huiyi and I once had this conversation,
She said, "Why do people have to be two-faced? It just makes life more difficult for everyone. Why can't they just be themselves?!!". And yes, she sounded positively frustrated.
So I said,
"Don't be silly now. If they were to just be themselves, everyone would know they're assholes".
Hmm. Well, you can't deny that's almost half the explanation.
Next, Sam got me this job where I had to transcribe one hour of tape for 30 bucks. Honestly, I had no problem catching on to the (boring) recorded interview, but I had to listen to some parts for a few times.
Samuel: You should stop procrastinating! Get back to transcribing. (yes I haven't completed one tape yet.) Pray to the Lord for the patience and persistence, it's the fruit of the spirit!
So I said,
"Tomorrow lah."
Procrastinators unite!
Besides the fact that I'm procrastinating and my mother's out of town... I painted my nails.
Oh gosh I miss her so. Not just because she's away, but mostly because the boys (yes, my dad has crossed the line) at home are driving me crazy.
Isn't there like, an obedience school badly-behaved-around-the-house males should go to?
1. They make messes they don't realise.
2. They don't clean up after their messes.
They were just about as clueless as fattened chickens headed towards the KFC supply chain.
3. They expect everybody without a (crude but I have to say it) penis to do everything else for em'.
I gotta admit this, but they can't freaking order pizza over the phone, try to reheat pizza, attempt reheating pizza without realising the switch is on 'OFF' (and wondering why the toaster's all screwed up), make porridge for dinner etc.
Oooh and this one takes the cake.
Pretty much all the chores are left to me and wow, I have to stay up to wait for the washing machine to be done washing so that I can hang up the clothes. Talk about selfish and this time, I mean it. While not incapable of doing the laundry (which is fold or hang), I'm really starting to think they're overly-dependent on my mama.
So it went like this,
My dad pushed the laundry to me and I did um, probably 4 days worth of laundry. Getting pissed off and rebelling against sheer laziness only got me an annoying little snoot telling me off,
"YEA! You should be more responsible!"
Uh-huh. For anyone who still think he's cute, I swear I'm going to slap your face with my brother's damp underwear.
You have been warned. May common sense be with you.
Which reminds me how pissed off I was at dinner cleaning up their messes. it just so happened my brother gave me another passing quip...
"If you have time, you should go do some chores *snooty act-cute face*".
Somebody kill me.
Some chocolate later, I cooled down.
Haiz. This is why if I have kids, I need to have at least one daughter. I don't know how mums can live without another female if they don't have daughters.
Yes, I believe my family would be a wreck without my mama around. Oh she's always there to make sure things are tip-top and shipshape. The loving, responsible custodian of the house, I'm so glad she's coming back tomorrow.
Sigh, I guess it's been written in history. Men have conspired (oooh and ganged up by ignoring the chores and lounging their fat asses in front of the tv) since the beginning of time to push everything seemingly domestic to women.
I don't know what to say. I'm just glad I have a mother that keeps my sanity alive before belligerence takes over. Ironically, she's usually the one killing it.
At least my dad has been civil to me and not buay song cuz I didn't do as he said immediately (yes I had to do it anyway). Oh well, who would figure out how to work the toaster!
Sometimes, all they had to do was pretty much... um, move. Sedentary. But what d'you know, when they got to using their nougets,
*few minutes of inspection*
"HEY this thing is on 'OFF!'"
"I think, we should do this... *turns knob*"
"LOOK! THE TOASTER'S LIGHTING UP!"
This is why men take women for granted. Especially in everyday situations.
Of course if you're not one of these guys, you got nothing be ashamed of. So don't tell me I'm generalising here. The innocent walk free. The guilty... Thou shalt be judged by PMS-ing housewives with formidable rolling pins.
And so in Mr and Mrs Smith,
Brad Pitt said, "You underestimate me, Jane"
then Angelina Jolie said, "John, you couldn't find the keys even if you had a map and a compass."
At least it's how I remember it, or want to remember it.
We're girls with horror stories. Do tell!
