When my mum came to my place, she was impressed by my orderliness.
She was more surprised than she was impressed.
She had never seen me this orderly before. I guess it is because she always took good care of me as a child and a young adult. To understand why this is a big deal, you need to know that my mum insists on taking care of everyone back at home. She washes our clothes despite our endless pleas to dissuade her from doing it. She cooked for us and even kept our room organized. When my dad asked her why she did that for us instead of letting us do it for ourselves, she said she wanted to do it. I finally understood that it made her truly happy to do it. So I decided to join her whenever she did the house chores when I am around. I wasn’t the best chore partner my mum had, but she was happy I was willing to help without a fuss. When she came to my place and found everything was in order, she couldn’t believe it. She even thought I had someone over to do it for me. I reassured her it was her lessons during our house chore sessions that made me good at maintaining home orderliness. However, she noticed my HVAC system wasn’t heating my home properly. I tried to justify it by giving lame excuses, but she didn’t buy my excuses. She offered to pay for my HVAC replacement and installation if I accepted to install a new unit in my house. I protested, but she insisted. She claimed that a poorly functioning HVAC system is a health risk and should be replaced immediately.
