“Oh for goodness sakes Lauren, what’s taking you so long?” My mum shouts up the stairs. “COME ON! You’ll be late!”
“Whatever?!” I shout down to her.
“LAUREN! NOW!!” she shouts up, getting really annoyed.
“WAIT!! I’m only doing my makeup! Gosh!” I was getting annoyed to, this happened every morning even on Saturdays and Sundays, which by my watch are days you don’t have to go to school or work so there is no need to get up early, right? But no my mum always finds a way to get me up early whether its for shopping for new clothes and morning breakfast at Milano, going to the supermarket to ‘beat the morning rush’ as my mum says, church or just to go jogging. And frankly I’ve had enough!
“LAUREN!!! NOW! Why do you need to wear makeup to go to school?!” She’s just going over the top now, I always wear makeup to school. Why does she only comment now?
“Because I want to, HAPPY??”
“NO! You know I’m not happy get down hear this second!!” There’s no point fighting it now, it’ll just make more trouble later.
“Happy now mum, I’m ready, oh wait I just need…”
“NO! NO! NO! We’re going… NOW!!”
“Yes mummy.” I say sweetly and walk out the door.
