I was having breakfast in front of the TV as usual today. My mom walked past the hall but seeing wat was on TV, stopped and watched for a bit.
Know the advert where this lady with reasonably-sized boobs that are squeezed together goes to a playground where 2 other women gawk at her boobs and it turns out she's got 2 kids cos they run to her and hug her? Ok, that's a long sentence. But very comprehendable! Well yeah, my mom watched the advert, which is for breast firming/enhancement and she had some things to say, and she chose me as her audience.
Mom: I don't know why these women have to go for all these things. Can't they appreciate their own bodies?
Me: (silence)
Mom: Don't you feel the same?
Me: Well yeah.
Mom: Ppl are just so unsatisfied. Doesn't mean change is good, y'know?
Me: Yah, but after giving birth, when your boobs sag, I think it's fine to do some firming up and only that.
Mom: Why? Why must we always please the men?
Me: It's not to please them, it's for us to feel good about ourselves.
Mom: Please lah. You feel good about yourself when ppl look at you and admire you, rite? So it's to please the men!
Me: (silence, but thinking along the lines of 'whatever')
Mom: You'll do it to please the men, rite? I mean, wat else wld you do it for?
Me: I don't PLEASE MEN!
Mom: You're talking too much these days, y'know that?
BAH!!!
