its a gloriously rainy saturday morning (ignore the screwed up blogger time thing) and i am sitting by my computer, cautiously eating strawberry yogurt. cautiously because it's a day over expiry, and so i'm expecting to unearth something rotten and unpleasant any moment. i panicked when i saw this red chunk, but then realised that strawberry yogurt does tend to have strawberries in it.
my parents are back. in the three days they were gone, i've changed. im no longer the girl who lets her dog sleep in her room, or ignores dirty clothes lying around in her sister's room, or doesnt notice how gross the floor has become. i have become a mom. how awful. i dont think i can go back now, because though my parents are back i still took the trash from my room and the upstairs bathroom down, and then, since i was already downstairs, did a load of laundry and hung up what was already there, and then, since i was going back upstairs anyway, brought up the empty laundry baskets. urgh, i have become responsible.
however, i did ignore the piles of dishes in the sink. dirty dishes will always have a special place in my heart. apparently, no one in my family likes doing dishes either, because everyone's breakfast plates are just lying sadly in the sink.
i suppose i should be glad for this burst of maturity, but it just feels like i've turned 18 early, and i feel extremely cheated and indignant.
