Nothing good ever happens after 2AM
My mother never liked waiting up or me. If I said I’d be home at midnight she expected me to drive in at midnight.
If I was late there was a frostiness the next morning. In particular her refusal to ask me about my evening.
Normally she’d be interested in who I was with, where I went and whether I treated the girl I was with respectfully.
It was 2.30am one night when I arrived home to the doors locked. A sign on the door said it all: “Sick of waiting”.
It was a cold night and a lesson learned.
Happy Mother’s Day to all mums everywhere..

Oh dear a very stern mummy, but I’m sure a lesson learnt. I’m too soft, i could not have done that to you.
Oh I don’t know I bet you’d be tempted…..thanks for stopping by…..Hope you had a happy Mother’s day…
very tempted – but couldn’t go through with it… you’re welcome.. yes not too many dramas, so a good day 🙂
My mum was happy to see me. Dad a few weeds growing on him but a little gardening sorted him out….lunch with neighbours was delicious…
LOL I bet you were never late again. I spent Mother’s Day watching my fourteen-year-old granddaughter play a soccer match in the rain. They won 4:0 😀
That would have been good Lyn, a win on Mothers Day.
You wouldn’t think you’d be game to be late again would you.
Great story – and as you say, as lesson learned. I might be tempted to do it to you, but it would depend on how old you were. In your teens, I’d still let you in – older …. Hmm. Nicely written
Thanks Lyn, no matter the age I think the lesson would be learnt.
Let’s hope so. Though some people, of course, never learn 🙂
Oh dear. But sometimes, we have to learn the hard way… Nicely done 🙂
Thank you Sonya appreciate you stopping by.
Tough love, true love. 🙂
Yes I think so. Hope you are happily well.
Yes, working hard toward a well deserved sleep. 🙂
Good sleep well…
Thanks, I’ll try. Fingers crossed my daughter doesn’t throw up again. Poor mite.
Oh no that’s not so good, hope she settles down and allows you a good sleep…..mums need their sleep Brenda….
Yes, indeed. And writers need to obsessively write. LOL I try to balance the two. 🙂
nice take on this prompt Michael!
Thank you Mandi
Sometimes it takes sleeping on the front porch in the cool night air to learn your lesson 😉
Yes makes you think twice the next time or just stay over with a friend.
