Mum said, “Pei Pei still threw up last night.”

I said, “I know. I’ve made an appointment with the vet at 4:30p.m.”

Mum said, “So efficient?”

I said, “The vet said Pei Pei’s probably not that sick so she prescribed a milder medication. But after two doses, she’s still throwing up. So it isn’t ok. I get to go back to the vet.”

Mum said, “You take Pei Pei there?”

I said, “No, Can you?”

Mum said, “A definite ‘no’, who can tell? But what are you doing?”

I said, “I get to teach in the afternoon and return to school for a music exam tonight.”

Mum said, “Oh my...”

I said, “So can you help? If not, I’ll take a leave then.”

Mum said, “A definite ‘no’, who can tell? I’m also worried about Pei Pei.”

I said, “Thank you.”

Mum said, “I’ll set off with Pei Pei a little earlier, around 3 p.m.”

I said, “Yet an appointment is at 4:30. What’s for?”

Mum said, “To shop for sand. The sand box’s clearing up.”

I said, “Can you buy a tube of Lysine as well?”

Mum said, “What’s that?”

I said, “For cats that have caught a cold.”

Mum said, “Tung Tung has caught a cold?”

I said, “ A little. I’ve seen a few of his sneezes from time to time.”

Mum said, “Where to buy?”

I said, “Pet shop. You said you’re going to look for sand. Just ask by then.”

Mum said, “I can find it in any pet shop?”

I said, “I don’t know. Just ask if there is Lysine when looking for sand. Alright?”

Mum said, “You’d better make calls to confirm in which pet shop Lysine is for sale.”

I said, “Oh my...Help if you can. Forget it if not.”

Mum said, “A definite ‘no’, who can tell? But we get to figure out the priority. Do first what is  more important. I get to take Pei Pei to the vet first. Anything about the cat should come later.”

I said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I ask you a yes-no question. You just answer me a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’, that simple!”

Mum said, “No.”

I said, “Fine.”

.......

Another me said, “Attitude?”

I said, “Bad.”

Another me said, “Patience?”

I said, “No.”

Another me said, “Empathy?”

I said, “Next time.”

Another me said, “Let me pray for you.”

I said, “Stop it. No help to me.”

Another me said, “With God, who can tell a definite ‘no’?”

I said, “When will a ‘yes’ come?”

Another me said, “No hurry. The branches remaining in God but not bearing much fruit, he prunes sooner or later. Let’s pray.”
