The high volume rotation of Alanis Morissette‘s greatest hits in mum’s Golf can only suggest that she’s in the mood to tell everyone to fuck off.
The car ride home, while tense, appears to naturally therapeutic for Mum. She then cranks Jagged Little Pill at full bore as she pulls into the driveway.
Currently holding one hand in her pocket in the kitchen, mum says it’s ironic that her boss wants to caution her for not following protocol when she’s constantly cleaning up after him.
“Don’t you think?” Mum asks dad when he arrives home.
Dad, who is picking up on the vibe after seeing the Alanis playlist being switched over to the home surround sound system, wholeheartedly agrees.
”Absolutely” says Dad, who’s yet to learn what happened.
”sounds like he should just walk away”
As Mum begins pouring herself an oversized glass of plonk, it looks as though today’s confrontation was particularly heated.
”What’s Beyoncé song I like?” She asks her teenage sons.
”The lemonade one”
Without an answer readily available the 40-something Mum of three opts to put on some Sinead O’Connor.
”At least this blow up isn’t Dolly Parton worthy” her husband told our reporters.
”Then we’d be on our tip toes”
