Chapter 2: My Mum (Alex's POV)
My mum? Well...she's...she's like any other mum I guess.
She...well...she's pretty for one thing. Not that that's a good thing...since all of my friends think so. Ugh! It's disgusting! She's my mum, for cripes sake! Perverts...
She's also really smart. Not just smart...she's bloody brilliant! Yeah, that's it. She knows so much about everything! I can ask her a question about anything in school—anything at all—and she'll know the answer. But the one thing she knows most about is Ancient Egypt. She speaks and reads the language, could name every pharaoh in history and... she just plain knows everything about it! Or...maybe not everything...but more than any other living person. That's for sure. I guess she knows so much about it is because she's so interested in it, and that's probably because she's the reincarnation of an ancient Egyptian princess; Princess Nefertiri. I've read books on her and it's not hard to imagine mum as her reincarnation. Princess Nefertiri was strong, beautiful, and brilliant—so, in essence, they're the same exact person! Isn't that amazing? Yup, my mum's great.
Of course, she is a mum...and I love her and all that, but there are certain mum-like qualities about her that I don't like quite so much. Like, for example, she embarrasses me in front of all of my friends. One time last year, she dropped me off at school and made me give her a kiss and a hug before she would let me leave the car. And she knew my friends were watching! I was ten years old and absolutely humiliated! She still laughs about it and so do my friends... I don't think I'll ever live that down.
Sometimes she can be the best, though. She always helps me when I have a problem and has saved me a whole bloody lot from my dad. I love my dad and he loves me, but let's face it: truth is, he's probably one of the most easily angered people I know. He tries to be patient, but I'd probably never be allowed to do anything if not for my mum. She's the only one who knows how to calm him down and probably the only person who he listens to.
What else? Hmm...I dunno. It's really hard to explain her. She a person with many ins and outs, that's for sure. There's so much about her that I don't even know how to put into words. She's fun, eccentric, amazing, genius, confusing, exciting...and all sorts of other things all at once...
Oh, I know! She's irritating sometimes. There's something. It's getting to be that way nowadays more often than not. She's always teasing me about the girl friends (just friends who happen to be girls) that I have now. She thinks it's funny, but it's just plain annoying! Well...maybe it is sort of funny...I guess... But really, I can't even invite one of them over without her teasing me—and right while she's there too! Unbelievable!
Yes, irritating is definitely something that she is...
I try not to think of those things like that though. Sure, she can be irritating, but I don't mean it in the way that it sounds. I love that there are things about her like that. I don't know what I'd do without her. I remember what happened at Ahm Shere...I remember how she almost left me forever. That dumb wench Anck-su-namun had killed her and I really truly just don't know how I could have lived without her...without her smile and her wit... There are some things about her I can barely even describe to you. As soon as she had left I had I started to miss her best qualities more than I've ever missed anything in my entire life. How she can always make anyone happy no matter what's happened. Or how much fun it is to listen to her talk about something she likes. Sure, it could last days if you let it, but that's part of the fun! I love being able to see her happy. Her smile can lighten up a room. And...oh, there's so much more, but I really don't know how to describe all of it.
She's great...a great mum. And despite her not so great qualities, everything about her's great. You can't love the great ones so much without the bad ones, right? Yup...she's amazing...and she's probably my best friend. She's my mum and I love her.
