How am I supposed to react?
Here goes. I asked my mom to buy a ToTo ticket on my behalf. SMSed her the number and all that stuff. Just now long ago, she claimed to have lost the ticket, or maybe even forgot to buy it even tho she has 2 quickpick numbers and a 4D draw bought on the same date. I wonder if she conveniently forgot the very fact that I'd a number with her, or could she been so forgetful that despite an SMS reminder ON THE SPOT, she still failed to buy the number.
In any case, it was a winning number for Monday's draw. Not the grand prize, but roughly 4 to 5 digits if I hadn't recalled wrongly. I asked her the number and after some desperate searching, she could still tell me "Don't have" and remained clueless about it, unable to confirm if it was lost, or wasn't even bought. Frustrated, I did raise my tone in demanding what the hell happened to it.. and that staring at 2 quickpick numbers which was bought on the same date isn't gonna help recall anything! She reacted by shouting, sayin' I was rude and stuff and started to get teary.
Hey, whatever the case, wtf man. So had I been in her position, I will get my daylights fucked out? And in such situation she can conveniently brush it off? What if it had amounted to a few hundred thousand dollars?
Sigh, is this another lesson on dealing with parents growing old? It's goddamn frustrating. Their reliability is waning which leads to disappointments at times with you not being able to do one thing. And yet you're feeling sympathetic towards them for this.
What a great mid-week break.

Dude.
What is this?
You're getting angry with your Mum over money?!
That's just disappointing, to say the least.
I suppose this was why you were so moody over Wednesday.
So what if it's several hundred thousand dollars? It's not like you're heavily in debt, or need to money to go overseas for studies, or get married.
No amount of money can buy you family.
Cherish what you have before you lose it.

In any case.. things are fine now.
I was irritated by her negligence. Obviously the importance of that few thousand can't supersede this mother-son relationship. But it's just frustrating to lose something in such manner.
