My hearing is bad enough as it is, but when it comes to me trying to listen to my mother it's just about impossible.
I love her more than anything, I care about most everything that she says, but my God I can never hear her.
It's not only the fact that I don't usually want to listen to her, but I think my brain has permanently turned off my ears when her voice floats threw the air.
For the past two and a half hours she's slaved me to clean up my room, sort through my summer and winter clothes, and put them away. For those who know me personally, know that I am probably one of the messiest people and always have an avalanche of clothes for a room. Cleaning up for me is putting the dishes in the dishwasher, clothes in one pile, and throwing out my garbage (it's not THAT bad).
But during this hell of a clean up she has been talking to me. But not ONCE have I heard what she said without me asking her to repeat it. Even when I tell myself, "ONLY FOCUS ON WHAT SHE'S SAYING"... I still don't hear anything. She can talk and talk and talk and I could look right at her and not be doing anything else, and try my hardest to listen to her... but still... nothing. It's like I'm Charlie Brown and she's the teacher. Just not happening.
But I really can't stop to think that that's just me. Don't most people have the same symptoms when getting master orders from their mothers?
What is this? Is there any hope to listening?
