What is your most pleasant memory of your mother, or a mother figure in your life?

gdit I'm supposed to be on hiatus XDD

[blacksheepgirl]

What a stupid question.

/steals you from hiatus forever!

[pacifyinghand]

As always, you may neglect to answer. I would think no less of you for it.

I just couldn't NOT tag this, considering the character /mommy issues ahoy

[blacksheepgirl]

Why would you bother asking something like this to begin with? Making assumptions is a terrible habit.

/counters with the mommy figure

[pacifyinghand]

It was an idle curiosity. I don't believe I've made any undue assumptions.

[blacksheepgirl]

You assume that a "mother" is something to be associated with pleasantness.

[pacifyinghand]

Mothers are, by nature, intended to love their children.

But even the most misguided of mothers tend to provide their children at least one fond memory to covet. Is this not true?

[blacksheepgirl]

No, it's not. That isn't true at all.

[pacifyinghand]

That you say as much suggests your mother is... perhaps... an exception.

[blacksheepgirl]

Tch. I'm sure she was a perfectly normal person.

[pacifyinghand]

And you? Do you consider yourself differently?

[blacksheepgirl]

...

She was normal. She reacted the way any normal person would when faced with a monster.

[an indirect answer]

[pacifyinghand]

Do you believe yourself a monster?

[blacksheepgirl]

I know what I am.

[pacifyinghand]

What you are is not as important as who.

[blacksheepgirl]

'Who'?

[pacifyinghand]

Yes.

Even "monsters" can have human hearts with humane wishes. If a "monster" chooses to protect those he or she loves, is that far more important than what we call them?
