I Hate Sundays.
Sundays have alwaz been the worst for mi. I can't stand it bcoz it's not oni the eve of the commencement of all evils but, Sunday oso, by definition, connotes F-A-M-I-L-Y.
Well i duno about u, but i dun normally wake up early on Sundays, for it is the oni day in the week i get to sleep in. Sometimes when i'm lucky, I get thrown a Saturday too.
Wif the entire respect i have for sleep-ins on a Sunday, i get absolutely irritated when there r disturbances to the quality time i have wif my bed.
Dis Sunday, today, wud have been a great instant to quote.
My nanny showed up at my doorstep dis morning, uninvited s usual. For the unawares, she is a very loud woman.
Of coz she can come visit, but not when it's without notification & when it brings huge disruptions to my sleep. I dun understand y she cannot understand dat not everybody wakes up s early s she does.
So even wif my mum nudging mi to wake up to receive her, i refuse to budge. I almoz rudely buried my face under my bolster wif my back turned on her.
The message was clear, unless it's a life & death situation, otherwise, show ur own way outta my room pls.
When i finally woke up at noon, she was still around. I took my own sweet time to wash up & bathe, s i was still too annoyed to be entertaining her.
When i finally joined her on the couch in the living room, she started to tok to mi, wif the 1st question being "How much r u earning?" 2nd being "Then how much do you give ur mother?" & 3rd being "So r u going to gif mi any?"
!!!!!!!!! WAD THE FARK!?!?!!?!?!
I understand she sees mi s family but she've gotto understand dat she was just an old neighbour who used to take care of mi when i was a child & dat was eons ago!
She was paid for goodness's sake!! Even my expenses when i was staying wif her were paid by my parents! And she tot i did'nt know just bcoz i was young. Well i say she better start realising dat i was young but, youth does not equate to ignorance.
After answering her 1st qns, I smiled in response, n pretended like i did not pay attention to her questions.
Of coz i understand it's oni customary to give some money back to our own parents but it's so upsetting dat people ask u dis sorta qns like s if I owe it to dem. Like hello?? I m working so hard to save up for my own future, not to gif u people all my salary as some fucking payment of gratitude or filial piety!!
Best part is, when she was about to take off, she sorta lingered around abit, like s if she was anticipating mi to whip out $100 from my wallet & hand it to her.
SO-NOT-GONNA-HAPPEN.
I looked her in the eyes & uttered my byes calmly & after which, i put my concentration back on my food, acting blur & clearly sending her the message dat i was not about to start giving her any money.
If i were to be raised to become nothing but a money tree, den perhaps given a choice, i would have chose not to be raised.
Wad happened to unconditional love of kinship???
