What my Mom said…
A couple of weeks ago, my Mom and I were on the topic of the next generation. Not of the Star Trek type, but more of the Ryan the Nephew type. Since Ryan the Nephew is still her one and only grandchild, she is keen for more. I don’t actually understand why. I mean by the time I’m in my 50s or 60s, the last thing I’d want to do is to be surrounded by a bunch of noisy, messy kids below the age of 10 who can’t clean up after themselves.
But that’s me. Some people actually care about having descendants, continuing on the family line and all that. Good for them I say.
So we were in the car: me, my Mom and my Mom’s friend. I told her that look, she can forget about grandchildren from ME, as in Suanie. I don’t want kids of my own, I’d never wanted kids of my own and I don’t plan on having kids of my own.
Mom then nonchalantly said, “Well, you could have an accident, hehehe… 
”
I tell you, that exchange was so wrong on so many levels and until today, I still cannot believe she said that. Sure, +1 for having a cool Mom but ?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Haha… accident! That’s good one. Your mom watches too many TVB dramas eh?
Total awkward moment.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
wtfffff
Eiling: I think she just wants more grandkids, full stop!
Erna: Very!!!!! Gosh…
Shirley: laugh la laugh..
Kim: indeed….
Pwned.
thts life sis. . . . .
Why nooooot? Looking at you, I’d say Little Suanies should be cute, too.
ST: Yes. I was rendered speechless for a bit. Lucky for me I still remembered how to drive.
foodcrazee: not mine!
Peter: Sure. You want to take care of them for me also?
Your mum is desperate for more grandchildren lol
Gotta love your mum!
Hahahhaha I can only imagine how her “heheheh” went. LOL
Simon: I prefer the word ‘keen’
Niki: Definitely! She just catches me off-guard at times.
KY: Similar to Ryan’s
She’s just told you she’ll be ok with you getting knocked up! lol Just imagine, 10 years ago she would have skinned you alive if there was an “accident”.
aiya suanie, your chance for bolo-nese already went back to bolivia. how now?
Min: Difference of a decade, and being 18 and 28! Sigh..
Lulu: Hahaha maybe if i wrote him a very compelling letter, he’d understand and return. Or maybe Asha could persuade him, hahahaah.
I’ll help you bring them to Misai for drinks when they grow up ok?
Hehe. Mothers are all a bit weird one.
Mine wanted to take me cycling a week before I was due to have a baby.
But seriously, never say never
I think moms are more sensitive about our age than us. It makes them nervous that their ah girl is heading over the 3-0 barrier in full warp speed(ST FTW) and there’s no one/nothing in sight to tie them down.
Yee Hou: Err okay. But why don’t you bring them to a proper pub instead?
mela: So did you go cycling a week before you were due to give birth???
Z: Yes there is, it’s called a brick “forget about babies from me” wall
BTW to anon commenters who insult me and my looks and weight and whatever, go ahead, I don’t really give a shit.
Once you touch on my family, it’s a different matter. Your IPs have been logged, print screens taken, I’ve no qualms going to the authorities with the information.
No, we didn’t go cycling. My husband wouldn’t let us haha!
Well, my mother told me that she liked looking after my kids because when we were growing up, my father and her were too busy making ends meet that they didn’t have the time to really pay much attention to our growing up. Now that they are both retired, it makes them quite happy to watch my kids grow up and remember how it was like when we were growing up too. Maybe it’s the same for your mom
Haha, Suanie, welcome to the club.
i think my mom just want us to have a taste of our own medicine….to experience how much effort it takes to raise a child…….sadist mom….
mela: that was kind of a very wild suggestion though, cycling a week before you were due! was it meant to have any sort of therapeutic effects to your birth-giving, or she just wanted a cycling partner?
nah, my mom is not going to look after my kids, if any. she just wants to play with them hehehe.
sickboy: your mom says that to you too?
ront: pay it forward!
Erm…I think she just didn’t apply her mind to it. She wanted to go cycling because she hasn’t gone cycling for a while on the account of taking care of my daughter. So when I finally go on leave, the first thing she could think off was going cycling without actually pondering the ramifications.
But then again, you never know. My mother is full of strange suggestions like that. She once suggested that I should steal someone’s calculator when I lost mine haha.
Your mum is a solution seeker!
HAHAAHHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHA! =D
if there was a world’s cool-est mom award, yours would win it by a mile
