Me: Z, please pick up your dirty clothes and put them in the laundry basket, tidy your room up and make your bed…..stop whinging about little things….need to help me around the house……take care of your younger brothers and stop nagging them…..life isn’t easy…….I’m really tired and need a bit of a rest….lots of people will be coming to visit over the next few days…. need you to be on your best behaviour…..grandparents going back home…….do your homework without fussing… etc etc

Z: You have a big pimple on your nose!

(Later in the day)

Me: D, try not to annoy your brother! Stop screaming at him and he will stop screaming at you, it’s really quite simple….life isn’t easy…..need you to be on your best behaviour…lots of people coming to visit etc etc.

D: What’s that thing on your nose?

(Later in the day again)

Me: Oh please just tell me what you want instead of whinging! Do you want water? Milk? Milk in the beaker? Nene? Outside? Shoes? Socks…etc etc.

M(pointing to my nose): Ummy got owah?

(Later that evening)

Mum: What’s that thing on your nose?

Me: It’s a PIMPLE!

Mum: Didn’t you use any concealer?

Me: Yes, actually I did! *sob*

(Later again that evening)

Random guest*: You have a pimple on your nose.
