ma: your brother’s orientation is tomorrow.

ma: it says “9am-5pm” so what time should we be there?
just: err, the whole day?
ma: oh, not any time between 9-5?
just: no la! whole day.
ma: ok ok. do i have to be there with him?
just: ya, ma. cos it’s his kindergarten orientation.

after some badgering from a friend, i’ve decided to post up snippets of crazy from my mom as a random series of sorts. was talking to my mom after getting my hair cut:
me: so now, i look like you, sound like you, and i’m craaaAAAaazy like you.
ma: no.
me: no?
ma: you’re crazy, but not like me. nobody is crazy like me.
me: true.
