My Honesty Made Mom Lose Her Cool
My mom tends to speak the truth no matter what the occasion it is.
When my boyfriend visits our family, Mom makes small talk with him happily.
"Tiffany once contracted HPV when she was in her second year of college. Please don't judge her for that. Haha!"
When my friend comes over to hang out with me, Mom leans in to take a closer look at her face.
"With those high cheekbones and hollow cheeks, you've got 'short life' written all over your face! I guess only Tiffany is willing to hang out with you."
Later on, I finally nailed a job as a governmental employee after putting in hard work for half a year.
During the background check, Mom starts running her mouth about the "truth" again.
"I think there's something wrong with Tiffany's moral ethics. First of all, she loves lying. Second of all, she's disrespectful to me. If your department does end up hiring her, you've gotta be careful."
Undoubtedly, I get disqualified because of her words.
That's when I get into a huge fight with Mom. But that woman has the audacity to talk back to me.
"All I did was speak the truth about you! The fact that your department doesn't want you means that you lack the capability! Don't ever think that you get to pin the blame on me!"
I fall silent at her words.
Since Mom loves telling the truth that much, I might as well use the truth to destroy her.
