i am a ditz! i went to volleyball earlier today and forgot a kneepad, so i called my mom. when she picked up, she seemed angry, but i didn't make too much of it. it turns out, she went out to buy me new (crappy) kneepads, and after practice, when i said i was sorry, there was just a really akward silence. on our way home, she said she got pissed when i didn't say thank you (i didn't want to disrupt practice, so i changed into them quick), and hence the reason for this vent. let me say this: when my mom is mad, you don't wanna mess with her. she's scary! so the whole way home i was crying. -_-'

*hugs* it seems a little unreasonable to me over such a trivial thing, I mean you don't seem a bad girl so you'd appreciate it even if it wasn't said, but I guess there's not much to be done except say you did appreciate it if you have't

*big hugs*

And I don'th think I'm gonna believe for a second that you're a ditz!

Now, first-off I'm going to quickly apologise for not being online (Christmas, heh), so I don't know for sure if you've resolved things over (you probably have). IDEA: maybe then I suppose this could be Future Reference! I like Future Reference!

I imagine that your mother got upset because she went out of her way to get you new ones (even if they were crappy). Sure, because you had to play right away, you weren't able to say much, but maybe she was expecting a big, embarrassing rush of affection, like you practically glomping her and saying, "THANKS SO MUCH MUM! OMG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, KYAAAH! YOU GOT ME NEW ONES?! OH, MUUUUUUUM YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO!"

But at least she came right out and said what made her unhappy. It would have been worse had she been the kind of person who clams up and sulks in a corner, without telling so much as a mouse what upset her. You wouldn't be able to solve any problems like that.

Anyway, I would suggest giving her a humongous hug, a nice cup of tea (or coffee, if she prefers that), a big deepfelt apology (although you said it the first time, she mightn't have truly registered it), another huge hug, and the biggest of thank you's that you can muster!

And if that doesn't make her feel better, then you can always do some tapestry.

It shalt clear thy mind and thicken thy skin, so that if and when mother uses her Poison Tongue attack, you can bear it, and try it all over again. ^-^

I hoped this works, or at least is useful!

Acacia Xara pretty much sums up what I would have said.

My mom is just like yours (scary when angry) but my mom keeps it to herself sometimes, not all times, but still xD
