No words today. Again. *sigh* As I work in the permanent afternoon shift, my writing time is usually around 9 o'clock in the morning, for as long as I can stay at it - usually an hour or two. And then I type up stuff in the weekend.

But today Mum wanted to go to the bank because she had some questions about her account, so we went to the bank, where she intimidated the poor guy at the counter within an inch of his life. Mum used to work for a bank in her youth and after that she was a lead book-keeper for half a century, so nobody can pull a veil over her eyes. The poor guy didn't have a chance. I think he gained several grey hairs in those 25 minutes.

It was actually funny to watch my 86-year-old, fragile and bird-like mother make a grown man sweat. But it ate my so-called spare time completely. The risks of living with an elderly parent - not that I'd miss her for the world!

Love this story! It's just as good as writing something, when you have one to tell that is so charming.

Mum is scary when in book-keeper mood. She takes no prisoners. I so often begged her not to explain these things to me because I don't have the right brains for this stuff, but she knows no mercy. :)

Haha, poor bank dude! Well at least you had some entertainment though it's too bad about the lack of writing time.

Well, as the one who actually met Mum, you probably aren't surprised. ;)

[artemis10002000]

Hahaha that's true, she is very spirited!

At least you had the delight in seeing and knowing that not all little old ladies can be bullied. Rock on, your mum!

Sometimes I think she has a bit of Miss Marple in her. Not the deducing part but the innocent act and the steel behind it. *g*

Now, there's a character for you in an upcoming story! :D

Somehow RL sucks up those free morning hours, doesn't it?

Oh, bless your Mum! And thank you for sharing this lovely story. I'm sending a virtual hug to both of you!
