Take today for instance. Mum asked dad to go do grocery shopping and he forgot to buy veggies. He went back and mum said that she forgot to tell him to buy mee sanggul and sugar. So he went out again. I called mum and she said "Kalau ayah ko datang amik kejap lagi, suruh dia beli sayur."
So I told him what mum told me and instead I got one long aku-tak-puas-hati lecture from dad about how mum kept making him go out again and again because she can't seem to remember grocery lists.
"Tadi pergi GIANT tak suruh beli. Keluar beli mee tak suruh jugak. Keluar lagi baru nak suruh beli..."
"She's your wife. You married her." Shai bebel sendiri.
I returned home, told mum what dad said (because being busuk hati is so great) and instead became mum's ears, I had to listen to her nags about how dad didn't listen properly to what she said earlier and that she has told him to go buy veggies earlier and all that.
"Mak cakap tadi, dia tak dengar. Lepas tu keluar beli barang entah apa-apa..."
"He's your husband. You married him." Shai bebel sendiri lagi.
But I do think it's nice. It's nice in a sense that dad can just pijak my mum on his way to the door and said "I thought you were the stairs" or mum can just simply said stuff like, "You're senile" because dad can't hear her. Or having him telling her that she's so lucky he's still a handsome guy and mum said that he would never dapat mengorat that kueh lady at the bus stop because she doesn't care about old man in ugly cars.
It is so convenient, the way that they can just slur at each other and then laugh together - or have us to be the victims yang kena dengar diorang membebel.
You know, 36 years of marriage reaaaallly makes your head loony. Ain't it romantic?
(Sorry, I don't understand my mood nowadays. Hahahahaha)
