Today I was mean to my mother. somebody needs to lock me up and make me suffer. I had been asking her to go with me to get my car fixed for about 2 weeks, and finally today after my 2nd to last fnal we drove to a nearby auto mechanic shop she frequents. turns out you had to call & schedule an appointment to get it done. i left slightly upset b/c i had been asking her for a while about it, and slightly annoyed b/c the mechanic told me i could still drive fine until his next available time slot this thurs. i had 20% oil left in my car, and my brakes were making funny noises, on the freeway i swear some kind of mysterious invisible force was pushing me towards my left, and everytime i switched gears my engine made a gurgling sound as if it were slowly drowning in its own crud. i thought, this mechanic is CRAZY. how was i supposed to SURVIVE! so i got into my car and drove off immediately, leaving my mom in the dust. she called me on my way home and said she was sorry, but I totally ignored her and began to yell. I told you I needed to go fix it soon, and I was going to go to the dealership to get it done but you made me wait for you to go to some other mechanic blah blah blah blah. I told her I was going to go to the dealership as I had originally planned to do so, an hung up on her. When I got home, I went upstairs and began to study for my last final tomorrow. After about 2 hours, my house phone rang. It was mom. she had snuck home in after me without me knowing, took the other spare key to my car, and had taken it to another place, fixed my oil, breaks, alignment, filters, and had even PAID for it. She had called to ask if I had wanted anything to eat for lunch. Instead of being angry with me, she showed me compassion. I thought I was going to die from my own stupidity and humiliation.  i felt even worse when the only thing i could come up with to say to her was "thanks". so the lesson i learned today was stop being such a whiny little bitchy girl. and don't ever be mean to your mommy. |
