I’ve created a new title “Damn Drama” to describe anything annoying in relationships. Here is tonight’s story.
While one drama ended Thursday night, another one ended tonight. As usual, the boy has disregarded our wishes for him to wear proper attire while attending this evening mass. Instead he wore his cleaning clothes of blue jeans, dark long sleeve shirt and vest. He quipped to Maw while seating himself next to her:
“At least I’m here!”
He’s bastos!

Of course, Maw couldn’t look at him and refused to talk to him during mass AND tonight’s dinner of spaghetti and meatballs and Korean BBQ from Lees Industrial, Inc. (a catering truck). He talked about attending the wife’s company outing and the difference between her people and his people of doctors and engineers at his work. He talked about blocking Yesha from his FB account, too. (Before, he said that he blocked both the Shillster and Joh from his FB account but denied.)
I ended up giving Maw a pedicure right after dinner while she nodded off to sleep. The boy tried to interest her in the touch screen of water pebbles. She went back to sleep. Later, I asked for the keys to our house but he walked away and said he didn’t want “bad energy”. He blames his work for not having the time to visit us. Oh, well, his wife and her relatives are godless (as Maw puts it), meaning they do not believe in a God, which is sad because most Buddhist believe in themselves anyway.
There you go folks. He refuses to go along with the old folks while they are still alive and continues to defy until they die, I guess. Perhaps I should get a whipping stick and make him “see the light” of day. Maybe then he will comply or die, too.
