In Happier Times.
I have heard wonderful things about Bernice's mommy (FYI prepares a lunchbox of healthy food for her every single day). And observing the interaction between them had such a fuzzy effect.
Exactly what I always dream of. Having your mother as your best friend. Cutesy mother-daughter bickering, her mom bustling around doing chores in great spirits, things they update one another about. Bernice's mom even packed white chrysanthemum tea for me to bring home and taught me how to prepare them properly. :) This dear girl's my source of motivation in hard times. She shares everything with me I'm really glad we are spending more time together!
She was telling me stories. It carried on to how one's default family background affects his/her relationship progression. It made me recall what my ex-boyfriend's mother once said to him "I like Carol. But in the long run, it is best that you consider someone else. A broken family has difficult repercussions."
At that time I felt hurt. She doted on me a lot.
As I'm older now, I understand it from a parent's point of view. It is reasonable. A person who's been in a family of my kind is probably not preferred. Every parent would realistically want their child to pick a partner brought up in the healthiest of environment, who has not been exposed to extremes and is untainted in their view of life. I don't know how I am the 'badder' egg in a basket of mostly normal eggs but there must be something normal kids have that we don't. Innocence? A clean record? What if she turns out like her mother? How can she care for a family?
Despite falling into Category Bad Egg I'm lucky to have pictures. To be able to type this caption:

Hee hee.
To people who presume children not part of the ideal father-mother-children-laughter-peace combo aren't good enough... every man is the architect of his own fortune.
