I visited my nan today. My mum and brother, Adam were over visiting also.
I asked mum if she'd read my blog recently and brought up the "books in the bedroom" story, to which she replied:
"Oh, I was pretty certain that Kane was gay well before the books."
To anyone who may feel as though my mother "suffered" (hehehe...) during our adolescence, don't be, because believe me, she gave as good as she got!
Today, a particular story was brought up that reminded me of this.
Back when I was probably about 15, I went to grab some groceries with mum.
I can't exactly remember what she did for me to say this, but on our way out of the shop, I laughed and called her a "retard".
Next thing I heard the grocery bags drop. She had thrown her self to the ground. When I turned to see what had happened she started flailing her arms and legs, calling out "Helwp me, Sairwahh!! HELWWWP!!"
I tried to pull her up, but she wouldn't stop.
"Oh my god, Mum!! stop it!!"
"Sairwahhh!!!"
"Stop it, Mum, everyone's looking!"
"Stop hurting me, Sairwaah!!!"
I left her there and stormed off to the car.
She got up, brushed herself off, picked up the groceries like nothing had happened and we went home.
Mum and Rob were pretty gifted when it came to embarrassing us and we pretty good at... uhmm... making their lives interesting.
(One day I'll tell the "Pantry Man" story)
