Things I Cannot Do (According to My Mother):

- wake up (We were supposed to do things in the morning. Is this the morning?)
- wash pots (You're supposed to wash the outside too!)
- define "almost ready" (I thought you said you were ready!)
- walk (You're splashing everywhere! I don't want to wash those pants again. / You're ankles are too close together! You're getting your pants wet!)
- say "no" (Don't you use that tone!)
- pour a drink (Why don't you stick the whole bottle into the glass while you're at it?!?)

ETA:

- cut potatoes (You ned to snap them off!)
- criticize apples (These are some of the best!)

Things My Mother Talks to Me About:

- What I've done wrong**.
- What my brother's done wrong.
- What my dad's done wrong.
- What the city and its various inhabitants have done wrong.

Things I Have Said Often:

Translation: I am not a moron.
Implied: Give me a break and some credit.

Things I'm Clinging Onto For Mental Health:

- Ignorance (ETA: Ignoring things ftw! \o/)
