儿子笔下的妈妈－－文学城seasickyetdocked

I got 92 in math, mom gave me her usual 'Oh I am so disappointed' look, but I am lucky that she didn't threaten to take points away. Points are extremely important to me in the holidays because I redeem them for game time. So I shouldn’t complain.

My mom is a perfectionist. Everything she produces has to be perfect, me included. My grades have different meaning in her mind:

A = Average
B = Bad
C = Catastrophe
D = Devastated

Well， I have never got a C or D in my entire life, so any occasional B’s were devastating catastrophes to her. She buys all the software, books and online programs to make sure I stay above Average. Yet I got a disappointing 92 in math, but honestly it was not my fault. I lost 8 points because I used two variables to solve the problem when I was supposed to only use one. Obviously my math teacher didn’t appreciate the fact that I am getting ahead of the curve as much as my mommy does.

I have to say that she is a cool mommy outside the school/extra homework thingy. I always like our little talk before bed; we take a walk everyday　(although she is pissed when I refuse to hold her hand in public) ; she always arranges ‘hangout’ time for me and my friends in the weekends; some girls in my class thought she is 29 at the ‘back to school night’, which made her very happy. She should know that I’ll love her no matter how she looks, even if she looks 49 when her actual age is 41.

She is a great cook. I love her food very much. I honestly think she should open a restaurant one day so that I can make lots of money as a waiter. She pays attention to food presentation and table manners even when there are only the two of us at the table. She keeps telling me that one day I’d appreciate all her effort when it's time to impress women. Maybe she is right, but who cares? Why do I have to impress them? Why not them to impress me?

One secret about my mommy is she does crazy things to her face and hair. Scary masks are nothing compared to eggs and avocado and honey mix on her face. YUCK!! Yesterday she rubbed some olive oil in her hair, and later she fixed pasta for dinner. I have to say that she smelled like pasta with extra olive oil the whole night.
