Tell Mama….It’ll Be All Right!
Some of us have been with our parents for ten or twenty years. We have been conditioned to respect, to follow certain rules:
“Don’t make Mak and Pa upset, Khmas Ke, why did you not ask Mak and Pa first?”
“Look, look your cousin is a doctor”, to walk, sit or hold a spoon in certain ways since childhood.
When some of the rules are not properly followed, “…see, see you didn’t listen to us again” Many times of this phrase, we always look over our shoulders for direction.
Following the rules of our parents is important but following your own dream just captures it all, regardless. For example, look at what Kalyan says on her page, “Yearning …Ambition …Novelty” She is tough and she is “bring it on!”
The potential of personal growth and success lies in taking chances and making mistakes early on in life, because everything we do involves mistake(s) anyway. Therefore, if you decide to do something, do it by telling no one. If mama says something, grab her hand, look her in the eye and put it in a nice tone, “Mama I love you so much, but I love me too.”

You're welcome. I use your reference because you and Kounila are the models here for me and probably for other Khmers to look up to.
You've been lazy? I am not sure about that.
I often say to my mama that everybody laughs with different sound, and that what makes each of us incomparable.
Never forget to pat her back!!! Enjoy..
