Mother's lessons in love part 2
At a certain juncture during dinner last night my sister instructed my mother to put her palms together in a half witted attempt to read my mother's palms. here is my mothers response
mother: YEAH I KNOW I KNOW, my husband will be very handsome right. no need to see, its already proven (looks at my father beside her)
everyone bursts out into laughter
sister: yeah! my classmates always look at the lines on their palms and compare
mother: YEAH! when i was in school my classmates always look at my palms and tell me 'WAHH youre so lucky your line so curved definitely end up with a handsome husband" and i also know!
so all the boys that like me, i see, not handsome then dont bother! no point wasting my time
my sister collapses into a heap atop her food. everyone resumes their laughter.
this morning my mother finished 4 bowls of noodles for breakfast. and they werent small bowls. tonight she has decided that WE ARE TOO FULL FOR DINNER. (note her use of the word we)
thus im stuck on the balcony,in the corner nearest to the pool, with the lap top perched on my lap, trying to get the wireless internet connection.
i think im having love letters for dinner.
