It Runs in the Family
In the grocery earlier today, I stopped by the skincare aisle to look up the local soaps, lotions & whatever potions I've been reading about in various beauty blogs (yes, its my vice). I picked one up and tossed it into the cart thinking, "It's only P17, what harm can it do?"
My mom saw the ubiquitous item amidst the kids' baon, this week's loaf of bread, and a bunch of canned goods (because seriously, our house can be like boot camp sometimes) and starts telling me stories by officemates, relatives, and other random people I don't know who used the same product.
Later while waiting in line to pay, I see another soap and lotion in the cart, whose price in total is already comparable to imported brands.
Me: "Ma... eh?"
Mom: "I think they'll help!"
Me: "But maaaa, if I start using all of these at the same time and I turn out to be allergic to one of them, its gonna be hard to find the culprit!"
Mom: "They're all the same brand anyway. I think."
Me: *shakes head* "Ma, sinusuportahan mo talaga kakikayan ko no?"
Mom: "Dapat lang. Kikay din ako eh... matanda na nga lang."
LOLZ.
