After My mom was scared by a centipede last week, something happened on her again. When I came home last Friday, I saw many bamboo sticks on the tray in the kitchen. My first reaction was: Wow, my mom even boiled the bamboo sticks before using. (Well, the experts said that many kinds of bamboo products are including unhealthful material. And my mom totally believed these experts.)

I felt so confused and curious. So I asked my brother if we were having a BBQ that night? Why were so many bamboo sticks opened? My brother told me that mom prepared pasta for lunch.  She put the pasta into the pot like a chef. The pasta should rotate in circle and looked like blossoming flower in the pot.

After three or four minutes, She felt something wrong because the pasta still were very stiff in the pot. So she took one of the pasta and pinched it. But she didn’t find anything wrong with pasta. She just felt strange why the pasta cooked so long.

After two minutes later, she felt so queer then she picked it up and observed. Her first reaction was why the pasta were pointed at one side. Then suddenly, she totally realized what happened:  She cooked bamboo sticks instead of pasta!

Actually, we all think it’s a very funny story, but in that moment my mom was very depressed, sad, dejected....She repeatedly said “I’m old...I can’t do anything anymore...I have had Alzheimer....blablablabla” My brother told me I better not laugh at mom.

So we told her that she must have been shocked by the centipede and should to go to 行天temple to summon her spirit back. We thought this was funny, but need to wait until she's more calm to laugh in front of her.
