flashback

-FLASHBACK-
My mother lied to me - volume 1

circa 1981

On this particular occasion, I was sick...
I had a bad cough and did not want any cough syrup
because I hated the way it tasted
My mother was always pushing the fucking cough syrup...
- as usual, I refused.

And then she tried to scam me, It went something like this:

mom: You want some soda?
me: YEAH! (Who doesn't want soda when they're a kid?)
mom: okay, go watch tv and Ill bring it in to you
(I should have known something was up when she offered to bring it to me...)

She brings it in... I take a BIG mouth full of pepsi
**GAG** followed by **DRAMATIC PAUSE**
(shocked look on my face)
'this tastes very similar to cough syrup, I thought to myself'

Could it be?? Could my mother have done this to me???

I run to the kitchen - full speed
"THIS TASTES LIKE COUGH SYRUP
DID YOU PUT COUGH SYRUP IN THIS????"

her reply: no. there is nothing in it - go drink it!
mind you, the bottle of medicine was still sitting on the counter next to the pepsi
SHE LIED TO ME... LIED RIGHT TO MY FACE
(not the first time - nor the last)
Yet ANOTHER example of my parents thinking I was an absolute fucking idiot

She put vile, disgusting, cough syrup in my pepsi.
Ruining a perfectly fine beverage.

What the hell kind of warped universe was my mother living in
that she didn't think I was going to notice?

She still cannot be trusted.

But I'm not bitter..
Okay, maybe just a little bitter.

Did your parents scam you?

Sure I've been scammed by my parents. I've also scammed them and it's amazing what I got away with. Give and take, that's what family's all about.

You never should have been born and you're sure ta kill somethin or somebody before you're done! I got a picture of you for a billboard advertising abortion! It's gonna work!

I have to agree with Dick as well but she should be shot for messing with the Pepsi.

my mother never tried to get over on me, maybe it's because I was a naive, trusting person who did what I was told, most of the time anyway.

Poor Jen. Watch out cause Tim might try it too. It just ain't right.

Lynda said...

The question is, did you finish the Pepsi?

Jen said...

HahahA
Hell no!

I was old
enough to know my pepsi
tasted like shit
and that I was lied to..

AND
I didn't drink it anyway!!
so what was the point?

AND
If I did have kids I would give them more credit and not
tamper with their beverages

pfffft

Admit it, Jen, your parents were good to you. Go on, admit it.

You know, everyone, I happen to believe that "anonymous", who commented JUST above "breonala", is actually Jen's Mom. I have to admit, all her "what did u want"s and her "i guess u dont have kids do u" lingo really threw me for a curve. She almost had me fooled for sure.
