So yesterday I was bored as hell. Some of my friends are out of the country, some did not answer their phones, others cannot go out; so pretty much it seemed that it was a stay home day.

I was sitting doing nothing, mainly gazing at nothing because even at TV there was nothing good to watch, when my mother came in the room and said: “Hey! Why do not you come with me and pick some Thyme? You are bored and doing nothing, but I will be good with you and give you 1 JD” I looked at mother, and I mean 1 JD is too much to handle, but what the hell I was really bored, so yep I went to pick Thyme with mother (تلقيط الزعتر).

So there we were, a mother and her son picking up Thyme and talking, not really talking for here what had happened:

At first my mother started gossiping about nearly everyone, and I was listening to her and all of I was saying is “Aha. Yes. Oh I know. Really? Oh I hate her too!” I mean really I do not like to gossip, but hey when your mother is talking you have to pay attention, although I did not really know half the people she was talking about!

When my mother felt like she was losing me, she decided to launch a counter attack, and here how it went:

- “Jasim, how come you spent 50 JDs in one day?!“
- “What?!“
- “How the hell did you manage to spend 50 JDs in one day? Come on, I will not tell anyone” Then came the sneaky smile of her.
- “I do not know! It is my money okay! Anyway let us change the subject” And boy I wish I did not ask for that!
- “So how come you do not have a girlfriend until now?” What the…?! She thinks I am gay now!!!!
- “What?!” With eyebrows up!
- “Yeah how come you do not have a girlfriend until now? I mean do not you love someone?“
- “First of all, that is my business… Wait a minute, how come you know that I have none?” Yeah how did she?!
- “I AM your mother” She has a point, really!
- “Well I am not really thinking about it now, I only want to graduate and get it over with, and then we will see about it“
- “I am not telling you to get married! Beside what happened to that girl you knew, what was her name?” I have to go now!!
- “I am not feeling well, I have to go to bathroom! I will be right back“
- “You better, otherwise there will be no 1 JD“

So yesterday I picked Thyme with mother, I listened to her gossiping, I was humiliated and understated by my own mother! And guess what?! I still have not seen that damn 1 JD! :mad:

Well that is it for today, have a nice day people :D
