Visit to my mother
Mother- Oh my god, you don’t look awful!
Me- Hi Mom
Mother- They told me you look awful. Like a dead person walking on the earth.
Me- So how are you Mom?
Mother- I think you even look good. Probably because you are enjoying yourself away from me!
Me- You’re looking great Mom.
Mother- You think so? (Smile). Everyone says I look younger then my age.
Me- Oh yes! You really do!
Mother- It surely is not because of the love of my children.
Me- Oh your Christmas tree is pretty!
Mother- Oh yes, I bought all news decorations. The other ones were much too old. I decorated myself. I was so tired after all this work. Of course none of my children would have come to help me out. All too busy they say! As if I believe that. I might be old but I am not dumb.
Me- I see that you are taking good care of yourself. You really look great!
Mother- Well I was sick but of course you wouldn’t knew. You are too busy! I went to the hospital.
Me- You did? What happened?
Mother- I was so afraid! I cry and I cry. But you couldn’t hear me. I needed someone beside me and you were not there.
Me- You were alone?
Mother- Yes!
Me- Who brought you there? Did you call a taxi? Did you call an ambulance?
Mother- I don’t have money for a taxi and I hate ambulance. Your brother and his wife took me in their car.
Me- Did they stay with you?
Mother- Well…Yes they did!…….But it’s you I wanted……..But you were gone…….You didn’t care what would happened to me!
Me- What was it for Mom? Why did you go to the hospital?
Mother- It was a one-day surgery for my eyes. I don’t know what they call it.
Me- Cataract.
Mother- Yes.
Me- Is you sight better?
Mother- Oh yes! I can surely see that you don’t look awful. You must be enjoying your life!
Me-……….
.
Mother- So how are your children?
Me- They are good.
Mother- They will be old by the time I see them.
Me- ………
Mother- Tell them I love them and I would like to see them.
Me- I will.
Mother- Are they too busy too?
Me- They have their life to live.
Mother- Are you a good mother at least? Poor children.
Me- ……..
Mother- Your 2 sisters and brother has invited me to their home for the Holidays.
Me- That’s good. I’m glad they did.
Mother- I’m not sure if I’m going.
Me- No?
Mother- No, they are loud and always complaining about this and that. It’s very tiring to be around them.
Me-……….
Mother- But I might go. I have no other place to go too. I guess you are too busy to have your mother around for the Holidays?
Me- I…..will not be home…..My children has invited me to their home.
Mother- You are lucky! At least they love their mother and they think about her.
Me- I have to go now. I have to drive back and snow is starting to fall.
Mother- Yes we are going to have a storm. I guess you better go. Oh I wanted to ask you something.
Me- yes?
Mother- Do you visit your siblings?
Me- No, I don’t.
Mother- Probably better that way. They hate you anyway.
Me-………
Mother- I will tell them you came to visit me. It will make them jealous. He he
Me- Ok I better go now. Take good care of yourself!
Mother- I have too. Nobody care for me anyway.
