Your make, I'm breaked

Sometimes, we pay for the mistakes others make. For example, your cat broke your mother's favorite vase and you're the one ended being scolded or your partner-in-crime shot dead the shop owner you two were robbing and you're the one being sentenced to life prison.

Well, in my case, I had to pay for the mistake my mother made.

15/2/08 morning, I was already late for work. After getting ready, which took me 15 minutes or so, I went to grab the car keys and run. But guess what, the car keys were not at the usual place! After looking in the house for 2-3 minutes, I decided to give my mother a call. This is what she said, in mandarin : " Ei? This morning I vacuumed your car, why don't you use the spare keys? Why don't you go look for them (the original ones) at the sofa? Just look anywhere, here and there. How should I know?"

From what she said, you can know that my mother is:
1. Needlessly looking out or me.
2. Looking for 'other' ways to right her wrongs.
3 Careless, reckless and forgetful.
In conclusion, She is very troublesome. He has to work and still she vacuumed my car which is not dirty at all, very 'honorable'. She likes to throw things around (never out them back or anywhere where you can easily find them) and forgot where she threw them. She also likes to order me to look for them. Gosh!

This is how I pay for my mother's mistake, but the story wasn't over. I still had to look for the car keys and it is no where to be found. Later, after around 20 minutes, my mother came home. So she went to get the spare keys, which I knew wouldn't work, and tried it. Walaa, it didn't work! So she ask me to open it up and she left. Again, leaving me to suffer from her forgetfulness. So I opened it up and guess what, I don't know much, my mother just asked me to change the batteries. The pictures explain better. Have you ever seen batteries like this? I know I don't.




So, from the beginning until the end, starting from the moment I reach to grab the car keys until I went to work using my mother's car with her friends form work, the duration was 1 hour.

The good thing about this incident was it was a 'chance' for me to NOT get angry and yell at my mother. That's a good thing for me. The bad thing was, well, you know, everything. Remember, every situation is a 'chance' for you to prove you have changed. For example, you were a hot head, you wanted to change and you got a chance when a waiter spilled water on you but you didn't scold him instead deep down in your heart you forgave him. Get what I mean?
