Okay, yesterday I got in trouble for removing a dead bug from one of my fishtanks. Apparently, my mother thought I was being idiotic. I tried to explain the bug would decompose, therefore, increasing levels of ammonia and stuff in the water and upsetting the balance.
Oooohhhh, boy did this ever lead to another argument about my idiocies and obsessions. But then, I suppose my mom's perfect. See, she was mad because she was cleaning and taking practically the whole house apart and was blaming ME for the mess. Well, she was the one who made a bigger mess than what she started out with! As usual, I had no other choice but to stand there and take it, as when I tried to speak and point out why I had to remove the bug from the fishtank, she interrupted me, and I've never been good or fast enough with words to make a come back.
