My mother simply will not let any kind of weakness show. For example, one time my mom stayed at home to write a report for a company. She wasn’t sleep for 3 days. On these days morning when I woke up, I saw she still sit in front of the computer. I said “mom, you sit in front of the computer for a long time you must be tired, I think you need to take a rest before you continue your report.” “I know, I am ok, I can continue my work now.” she said. I saw her eyes became red, I tried to ask her again, but she still told me “I was ok”. When she worked, I saw she ate the gum to refresh herself. I told her “I think you really need to have a rest, you see your eyes tell me you really need it.” I got the same answer from her. I didn’t know although the behavior has already told me she was tried, she still said she is fun.
My mom also hates to be wrong. One day I asked my mother to take my homework to my aunt’s house. I told to her I needed the yellow and green text book, it was in my first book case. When she came to my aunt’s home she gave it to me. I said “It isn’t that one. It told to you I need the yellow and green one, but this is just yellow in the book.” She said “You didn’t say clear, I just found this on your desk.” “But I said the book is in my first book case, did you see the book case?” “No you didn’t tell me the book is in the book case, this is your mistake, why you always left your book in the room.” She said to me. I had no idea to say anything about it. I didn’t understand when she forgot something why she didn’t have mistakes, all wrong are belong to me.
