Gist With My Mom

It's already 12 : 08 a.m., and sleep is still far away from my eyes because I'm busy thinking about my detective of a mother. Thinking about her nonstop questions and curiosity about everything had got me awake and smiling all day. She can interrogate everyone and everything😜😜😜.

My day was really interesting, yes very very interesting because my mother came visiting after we had been apart from each other over a year. Though we always talk on the phone almost every day, but she being present in my house feels completely different. I can tell you for free that my peaceful moments disappeared immediately my Mom stepped into my house. She started with her gist that will never end and you must listen to it, her constant questioning and laughter.

My mom is the kind of person who always has a story to tell. She will updates me on everything that happened in the village, who is still alive, who has passed on, who got married, who relocated, and everything. And you must be focus and listen while she is telling the story, We even find ourselves gossiping about my father from time to time 😜😜.

Today, she sat with me in my shop and turned into a full-time investigator or a questioneer,
I don't even know the right words to use for her😄😄. Every body that passes by became a topic of discussion.

You will hear, "Who is that?" "What is he selling?" "Where does she live?" "Is that person married?"

Hehe, the questions were endless! Sometimes I would laugh and ask her, "If I tell you who they are, will you even know them?" But she did not stop.

At one point, I picked up my phone to write a post and engage online for a while. My mother immediately complained that I was paying more attention to my phone than to her.

Then she insisted I put the phone down because she wanted to tell me about a dream she had. I listened attentively, only to discover that the dream was about my great-great-grandmother—a woman I never met and know nothing about!
After she finished, I looked at her and said, "Mummy, so you made me drop my phone just to tell me about my great-great-grandmother that I don't even know?" I jokingly added, "Don't worry, I'll take you to the hospital so they will examine if you're developing high fever."We both laughed so hard.

There is i no way, my day will be boring when my mother is around. The catch-up is endless, between the gossip, village updates, endless questions, dream interpretations, and unfinished conversations, hmmmm, there is never a dull moment with my mom. In fact, we still have plenty of gist left to complete.

So no, my day was not boring at all. It was filled with laughter, stories, and one of life's greatest blessings which is spending quality time with my mother.
