My mum did her ulterior motive thing again. We went to the beach a couple of days ago, and she kept insisting that I'd enjoy it better if I wore wellingtons so that I could wade into the water with Waggy, but I wanted to wear my hiking boots. As the trip progressed, it emerged that she was really just worried about her boyfriend making a fuss over me getting sand in his car, and thought wellingtons would reduce the sand since they could be taken off and swapped for sandless footware in the car. I wish she'd be up front about things, instead of trying to convince me that it's me who really wants something, when it's her that wants it for her own reasons.
was it something I said?
