My mom used to pitch a fit over frivolous things. One day when my friends came over, one of my friends spilled juice on my dresser. I got very angry and then suddenly I stopped. I realised that I was acting like my mom. Nooooo. I vowed that I would never act like a mom again.
It has happened to me, I overreacted when my niece went out with a bunch of friends till late. I told her how unacceptable that was, considering her age. Then I stopped to realise that hey... My mom said the asme thing to me when my friends and I went to our first picnic! Crazy World..!
