Mother or Grandmother
A few weeks before SPM at Wangsa Maju Carrefour’s England Optical:
Optician: *Scribble in Chinese* her myopia increased about 100, please change her lenses.
*Look up at me* do, you know Chinese?
Torpor: Of course, I’m currently studying in a Chinese school.
Optician: *Blush* Oh I see. So, ask you GRANDMOTHER to…
Torpor: Erm… if you are talking about the woman who take me here, she’s my MOTHER. *Trying hard not to burst into laughter*
Optician: *Blush some more* Oh, sorry…
This is the first time someone say my MOTHER is my GRANDMOTHER. LOL…
Today at home, received a call from a fellow 5S5:
Torpor: I saw a few of our classmate working at Carrefour.
5S5: Yes, I saw them too. I also saw you one day at Carrefour, shopping with your GRANDMOTHER.
Torpor: I think it’s my MOTHER you saw that time. LOL…
The second time. LOL… I think I can imagine my fellow 5S5’s blushing face. Looks like my mother really have to dye her hair. If not she will continue be misunderstood as my GRANDMOTHER.
