Why not say 'turn lemons into vodka tunic' instead? which is what most people my age use the most.
So why is my day exactly the same scenario as 'turning lemons into lemonades'?
Firstly I knew that first thing in the morning when I woke up was that my parents were going to give me some sort of punishment treatment (more likely the silent treatment that they usually give me). Why are they doing this to me? Because 2 days ago I went home at around 3 am in the morning and my mom woke up when she heard me in the bathroom washing my face. She instantly came out of her room to ask me why I was out so late and I told her that my significant other car's battery died and we had to wait for someone to give us their time so that he can jump their car. I don't know whether she believed me but I knew in my heart that I was telling her the truth, I was not lying at all.
Then yesterday I realized that the house was empty so when my significant other called me to ask if I can go to uni I said 'yes I can come and I'll go'. Before I left the house I texted mom how I am going to uni for that tutorial session in preparation for final exam (which I missed, BUGGER!).
I came home last night at around 12.30 am so I think my parents weren't happy at that as well.
So this morning I noticed that my parents left the house but my sisters and grandma was home. I was glad at the fact that they weren't in the house that morning because I knew that they will say something to me soon.
My second sister (lets called her Stacey from now on) Stacey cried to me at how lucky I am that I get to go away and don't stay at home so often. My younger sister (lets call her Laura from now on) Laura joined Stacey and Me few minutes after my sister opened up and complained to me what has been happening.
Few hours have pass by when they arrived home with groceries.
I thought when they arrived that they were having an argument mom and dad had the most villainous face so at that moment I thought 'oh no I don't want to talk to them yet its so scary'.
So my parents were giving me and my sisters silent treatment the whole time, that what they wanted us to feel and they wanted to observe whether we will be affected.
Instead me and my sister sounded like we were having a bonding session (which we practically were but not planned) and mom got jealous and tried to come in my room and tell us to do chores to notice that they were not happy with us.
Then after that it was already around 3.00pm and we had lunch, then that is when mom and dad decided to bring out their feelings, during lunch. I knew it was coming already, that had this killer eyes look and mom just looked like she wanted to say something from the moment we sat down.
So it went on and on about how they don't like how we were acting apart from them. They seem to think that we are 'creating our own personalities' inside our rooms (not really sure what that means must be parent language or some sort). Basically in that conversation it was like very harsh; they were criticizing us about how we are not sticking to our morals and beliefs in which we were raised in. BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH.
Instead after that conversation I hugged mom and dad together at the same time and I said to them 'I'm sorry mom and dad, I didn't realize that I was hurting you, of course I missed you guys of course! I am so sorry'.
Then mom and dad hugged me as if it was the last time they will see me (which made me happy).
Then afterwards on the way home after church, mom said 'You know [insert my name here] you are a really good girl, really humble and not afraid to accept the mistake you have done, that is why God is so good to you because he knows that you are a good girl'. Actually hearing those words shocked me, it was as if my ears were chopped off.
My only dumb response to what mom said was 'All I want God to help me is pass all my courses [chuckles]'
Then she ranted off that I should be asking God about getting the best mark that will give me a job (which is true and I do).
Then Laura butted in saying something about that flying saucer mom was talking to her about 2 nights ago. BLAH BLAH BLAH.
After that ride trip going home I felt kinda light and happy, So how was this scenario turned into a lemonade well basically it started of bitter and I knew it was going to be a bitter situation but instead I know that I was in a wrong in a way (looking at parents perspective) and it was kinda sweet (in a way) how they were just jealous and wanted attention from us. Even if parents are sometimes annoying, whiny and bossy they really do care for you and sometimes give you annoying drama because they just wanted attention.
If I was feeling like I wanted to be selfish at that moment I would have just blew off my head and become defensive instead of letting them hear what they want to hear. Instead I gave them what they want to hear because I knew they had a thought week (everyone did right?) and they deserve some sympathy even indirectly. So I knew me telling those words that made them hug me tight will give them that happiness that they wanted from the beginning.
Sometimes it is better to be humble and put yourself into others point of view. Even if its your parents being unreasonable it is still good to just accept your mistakes and say sorry because most likely they just wanted affection and sympathy from you. Since they work hard for you to give you a good life at least give them the benefit of feeling like they were a very good parent and have always been (they should be like that in your heart in the first place).
So what can I say about today, I really did turn a lemon into a lemonade and I am hoping that I can keep this attitude! I am so looking forward to it!
LETS KICK SOME BUTTS!
