After Mother's Day,Thailand

母がリリーフランキーの「東京タワー」と言う映画を観てきたそうだ。
会うなり、「良い映画だった！親不孝のアンタに見せたい位だ！」等と言われ。逆切れしてしまい、言い合いになってしまった。妻曰く「構って欲しかったのだ。優しい言葉を掛けて欲しかったのだ。」と。
成る程、母の性分からしてそうかも知れない。だからって、そうそう人間変われる物じゃない。
母への感謝はあるけれど、映画の様な訳には行かず、妹夫婦と寿司屋に連れて行くのが精一杯だった。
皆、こんな物じゃないかな。

I don’t remember from when, but from some years ago I started to give peony flowers to my mother on every mother’s day. Since I knew that she doesn’t like carnations, neither do I, I happened to find peony flowers and she fell in love with it ever since then. Last year, I decided to give her something different and chose red roses. But on the next day, she gave me a e-mail saying that she was happy to receive roses but felt something was missing. So on the next day, I sent some peony again and then she told me was finally satisfied. I thought it was kind of pushy of her, but now that I look back, I feel her strong emotion for those flowers I continued to give each day. Well, I did the same this year, too.
