How I Helped My Mom in Preparing a Meal

Claaa...nnnng!! I unwittingly dropped the utensil in which I was mixing the salad . Well, I was helping my mom in preparing lunch as I had nothing to do.

I went to the kitchen and told her that I will help her. She gave me a judgemental look as if I uttered something unbelievable.

“I said, “What happened?” “ Nothing, just never heard you utter the word help ever!’’ . It was her sarcastic way of talking to me.

Well, I somehow tried to convince her and we started to cook . First she gave me some onions to chop.While I was chopping, tears filled my eyes which blurred my vision and I hurt my index finger . After applying band aid I went back to accomplish my mission again. Mom was already annoyed by then and asked me to get out of her way. I coaxed her a lot to allow me.

At the end, mom gave me a task. It was to mix the salad while she was laying the table. I was basking in glory while I was mixing the salad on being successful in working in the kitchen. Humming to the tune of my favourite number, I whisked the cream in the salad with all my might and before I realised, I heard a crash! The bowl fell from my hands and made me petrified knowing what my mom’s reaction would be .

She rushed into the kitchen and bellowed “ What have you done? Get out right now!” .

Soon mom called us for lunch and while having the lunch she saw my sullen mood and praised me for helping her. Moms try their best to make us happy but still we don't appreciate them for their work. I learnt it the hard way. We don't understand them until we step in their shoes.
