Fetch Me, Mama
By steambunz - Thursday, May 19, 2011
When we were much younger, we would always ask our parents to send us to school. Or either the shopping mall or to your friend's house. And once we're done, we would call them to fetch us back.
Few years down the road, when we're much older, we get the chance to drive our very first car, our parents car.
Then, when University life starts, we'll start to whine to our parents about getting our own car. We'll think that our own friends who owns a car are lucky and rich. We'll think it's cool to own a car. We'll sometimes showoff to our friends that we can 'fetch' them anywhere they want.

That's what you think. I once thought it was cool to own a car of my own. Since after all, it is convenient for us to go anywhere we want at anytime.
I realize that it's not fun at all.
Drive to college.
Park car.
Drive back from college.
Park car.
Sent mom to work.
Drive back home.
Park car.
Fetch mom from work.
Drive back home.
Park car.
I realized it's really annoying sometimes. This may only be one day but imagine doing that for 10 or 20 years of our life? Just like our parents did. Fetching us in and out daily.
So, the next time you want to complain about your parent's fetching you late, please think again. Don't rush them either, they would end up in an accident. If unlucky, we will never get to see them again.

Aye. Very true post.
ReplyDeleteI'd much rather have a driver (not referring to parents as drivers lah..) to drive me here and there than drive myself around. And to think our parents had to fetch us everywhere...school, tuition, friends' place, tuition shopping malls, more tuition etc.
the same happened to my sister!!
