I like to mop

Hello God!

I was sick last weekend. I want to tell you what happened to me. I think falling sick made me realized how blessed I am in life.

My parents were not really mad at me despite the report card incident. They thought I was a weird but funny boy. Haha! When they found out I was feeling ill, they were so concerned.

Last Friday, I started feeling feverish and weak all over. My parents were out of town for a short holiday. Mom called me but I did not pick up her call as I was asleep and sick. Later in the evening, Mom called home again and sister picked up the phone.

Mom: Young Hee, where’s Day? He didn't pick up my call. (mom must be thinking I 'ran away' from home again)

Sister Young Hee: 하루(Day) is at home. He said he is unwell.

Mom: What is Day doing now?

Sister Young Hee: Day is mopping the floor.

Mom: Oh??!!!

Sister Young Hee: Yes, you heard it right. Day is mopping the floor. I think he is well.

Mom: Okay. Annyong-hi kashipshio.


After moping the floor, I went back to bed after taking some porridge. Throat feels painful. No kim-chee for me that night.

My fever got worse over the weekend. My parents were worried it was H1N1 flu. But then, fever began to subside.

On Monday afternoon, while she was at work, Mom called home, and sister picked up the phone again.

Mom: Young Hee, how’s하루(Day)?

Sister Young Hee: He is mopping the floor. I guess he recovered from his sickness.

Mom: Again? Oh, Day is still sick. Your brother will mop the floor when he is sick. That strange little brother of yours. He should be in bed.


That night, Mom sat me down for a talk. She thinks I have an obsession for mopping the floor when I am sick.

Mom: 하루(Day), don’t mop the floor again okay? It’s a maid’s job. The floor is too clean already.

Me: What can’t I mop the floor um-ma?

Mom: It’s so clean, shiny and smooth now. Mop any more and I might slip and break my hip!

Therefore, I’ll stop mopping the floor for now (maybe for a day!). Hehehehe.

    Glad you're feeling better now.
