Table manners

My parents (to no fault of their own) have the worst table manners. 

Slurping noodles, soup, even rice and vegetables (how do you even slurp that stuff!)

I’ve chosen to hold my tongue and turn a blind ear to this the past two months.

And tonight, I accidentally slurped my tea (cos it was hot), and got reprimanded by my dad.

*Sigh*

Do you want soup?

Mum: There’s probably one serving of soup left, but you two can share it

Me [to Dad]: Would you like some soup?

Dad: Sure, if you can’t finish it I can help you

Me: I don’t know what that means, do you want some soup or you’re just saying that out of consideration?

Dad: It’s up to you, I’ll finish it if you can’t

Me: But I can finish it, but I also don’t mind not finishing it, so we can share it if you want some.

Dad: You can have it.

Me: Okay... [quite full but reluctantly eating soup not knowing if Dad was saving it for me or if he just didn’t want any and wondering if I should have insisted he have soup or pretended I was full so he could have soup AARGGHH]

Too much ice-cream

Mum: You are always eating ice-cream?

Me: What do you mean? When?

Mum: Since you’ve been back home I have seen you constantly buy ice-cream

Me: I’ve been back for three months, and I have bought 1 x four pack of MINI magnums, and 1 x BABY scoop of ice-cream from the store, which by the way, you ALSO got a scoop.

Mum: Well I was only eating it because I wanted to make you happy. And ice-cream is bad for you.

Me: [speechless]

You can never win

Mum last month: You need to wake up earlier, it’s good for you. Also tell you brother to exercise - he’s getting fat.

Mum last week: Make sure you drink enough water

Mum two days ago: Why are you getting up early in the morning to go jogging, too much exercise is not good for you

Mum yesterday: I see you drinking many cups of tea every day, make sure you don’t drink too much water.

Did you know people in colder climates live longer? It's like when you put food in the fridge, it'll lasts longer.

Unknown ally

I don’t know how it happened but mum’s managed to set the analogue radio in her room to JOY 94.9 FM.
