Of course it did

“So mom where did you say Natalie was and why?”

“She’s at a friend of mine’s place though i still don’t understand how that 25 year old became my friend (referring to Natalie’s friend). Last time she came she enjoyed the company of Veronica so she wanted to play with her more. But I had to like tell her a long list of things as to what feed her and what not.”

Hmm so it turns she now thinks Veronica’s friend is actually her friend and she has many false memories. I guess the chip is really powerful.

“Ok mom stop giving me foot massage”

She stopped

“Did you have any tasks for me to do today?”

“Oh yeah there are. I completely forgot about them. Ok so clean the bathtub and also mown the garden. You better start now because I don’t want any excuses later that you couldn’t complete them.”

She’s still giving me orders

“Ok mom start doing 50 push-ups in proper form and then clean the bathtub and mown the lawn. Do you understand?”

“Yes, I understand”And with that she started doing push-ups. I told her to count them.

After that I went and heated a burger and brought tomato sauce with me and when I came was at 23rd push-up.

My mom has always been athletic type so I guess it wasn’t much difficult for her to do 30 but after that I saw the strain she was putting in completing the next 20.

But she didn’t stop and somehow I knew she wouldn’t stop until she lifted her body 50th time.

So I sat in front of her with in a chair and started eating my burger. And then for some mischief, I pour sauce on her back.

“Hey what are you doing? Why are you posting sauce on me? Don’t you have any manners”

“Ugh mom from now on you will not scold me. I can do anything I want to do with you and you will be fine with it.”

“Ok as you wish”

Now to test the last instruction I opened up my half eaten burger and rubbed the creams and sauces of it directly on her face. But she didn’t say anything and just focused on her push ups which were now nearing 50. For some reason I was impressed with mom. Then she stood up not bothering cleaning her face and back of the sauces and started morning the lawn. She had to really put in the ****, while I sat on the bench drinking cold coffee while it was peak of tue summer at noon.

Her face was now a complete mess due to sweat and sauces but she only focused on her task at hand

Finally when she completed it she automatically went to bathroom and started scrubbing the tub

That’s when I decided to really push her limits but before that I stopped her and asked some questions
