"Hmmm… Shall I apply for a sabbatical leave from work? Maybe take a few years off work?" Mom says.
A 'leave' I get, but a 'sabbatical'? What's that? From what she said, it seems like a years-long break.
"Oh… My love… Agew can take care of himself, can't you son?" Dad says.
I can.
"We'll still see him every day." He adds.
"Honey. I know Agew can take care of himself. He's self-sufficient." Mom says.
I do keep things clean and neat. I can't cook though. Meh, I'll just skip lunch.
"Oh. Okay. But you're not taking a long break without a good reason, no?" Dad asks.
"Yes. But it's more for a selfish reason." Mom says.
"Oh?" Dad is curious at mom's words, and so am I.
If she takes a break, then that means she'll be around me all the time. That's gonna be rough.
