Parents are just hilarious people. Let's drift into a fun portion of blogging in my life.
Recently, the door ledges are locks had become a little rusty due to the everlasting wear and tear. So being my father who is the man of the family, he always takes the lead and wants the best for our family. He always brings more food to the table than usual. A 4 person meal will always have an extra 5th meal for all 4 of us to share. In those younger days, it would have been seen as a luxury and fortunate, but lately we have been discouraging that due to bad health issues.
Anyway, being the man of the family, he insists that these ledges and locks to be fixed, even if we seldom open them; like on a bi-monthly basis with chains locking it. Each of these ledges cost 50 bucks, multiple by 8 ledges which comes up to a great sum of money. Being the financial resource allocator of the family, my mother always has a monetary say in decision making especially when it comes to household maintenance. She's a rather uptight person, seeing that money must be spent wisely and not waste it on useless buffoon long hair make-up beautiful money hungry ladies.
So, she was like quarreling with my father, saying how much it would cost and its not worth it, seeing that we seldom open those glass doors. But he still insisted. At first, i was on her side, convincing him not to pay that sum of money. But seeing that the contractor and the invoice have already been issued, i did not really continue to push it. But you know adults, when they are quarreling, lol young people do not have a hard-case to convince. But still i managed to convince him not to buy ANOTHER CAR.
Anyway, they went on and on, as i glazed upon the invoice in frustration. My mother just hates to lose and my father loves to bring more comfort and prosperity to the family. It was a tough choice, so i did not do anything but ask them to step aside.
The final argument was my father speaking up and saying.. "I'm always the one paying for the house maintenance, so SHUT IT already". He added, "If you so smart, next time you pay for the maintenance". My mother said.. "FINE!". Like children they are, they just went on with their lives.
Just last night, after the big quarrel, their air conditioner gave way. They love the aircon induced life, so they were dragging their bed to another room with a perfect working air con.
All i said was, "Ok, so whose gonna pay for that spoilt aircon?".
