So, right, today's father's day, we planned on going out and eat at some Japanese place, called ahead to reserve a table but was told the booking were full and only walk-ins are available at the NORMAL, SENSIBLE lunch time of around 1200 to 1300. The place opens at 1130. At 1045, my mother walked into my room, and asked, 'You know what time it is?'
I answered, 'Almost eleven'
She then asked, 'You know what time that restaurant opens?'
'Eleven thirty.' I answered.
'Why didn't you notice the time? Why aren't you getting readied to go down and find a seat?' (that restaurant is in the mall right next to my apartment building, it takes all three minutes to get there.)
To which I answered, 'Why do I need to do that this early?' (Mind you, that restaurant isn't popular to the point of having folks queuing up before it opened.)
'You don't know the booking will be full either.' Is her answer.
Alright then, I nodded along and got charged to stand around the place.
at 1110-ish, she called me and immediately barked at me, 'Why do you go down so early?'
And I started to explain, telling her she told me to do that before she rebuked she had done nothing of the sort, insisted on it and I got frustrated and it shows in my voice, so she immediately goes 'Oh I don't want to eat there anymore, get back here.'
Back home, she told me 'No, I was not scolding you for going down so early, I'm feeling SORRY for you, going down so early! What I said before you went down is me telling you to BE AWARE OF THE TIME, not immediately change and go down!'
HOW THE FUCK WAS I SUPPOSED TO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT AS 'WHY ARE YOU STLL HERE GET DOWN THERE IMMEDIATELY.'?
