mother may I?

hipotesis: there must have been some covert-jedi-mind-trick qualification exam to pass before you can become a mother.

pemerhatian #1 - we're walking around Tesco, and I'm moping around because a. my dad woke me up way to early that morning AND b. there's just no good time to be vegetable shopping. My mum looks over at me with a super serious expression and says "You look bored, come push the trolley". mind trick worked

pemerhatian #2 - it's ten fifty a.m. and I've once again been woken up rudely (apparently it's only rude from my point of view) anyway mum calmly walks into my room and says "Get up, I need you to pluck some papayas". (That in itself warrants some muttering) I roll over trying to ignore her and say "Give me 5 minutes..I'll get up at eleven", to which my mum replies "No five minutes, the papayas will be overripe by then". FO REAL?! =D mind trick worked again

pemerhatian #3 - I spent the past few night griping about how bored I've been at home, my mum being the awesome person she is tried cheering me up, but I felt like wallowing in self pity (don't judge me!) anyway methinks today morning my over dramatized sullenness got on her nerves and in the "mother of all mind tricks" (no pun intended..well maybe just a little) she says "You're not bored, just not very intelligent or imaginative. Intelligent people wouldn't say they're bored, they'd just actually enjoy time spent sitting around doing nothing. Imaginative people wouldn't feel sorry for themselves, they'd find creative ways to occupy themselves with the opportunities available". OWNAGE

kesimpulan: hipotesis diterima. mother = jedi

p/s: dad's are like TBA
