Default Just in case you come back!!!

Hi
My mum is in denial about our move. I have been sorting out things in the house for a good while now.
Today she asked me what I was doing with my toaster and kettle. I asked her if she wanted them. She said " No but I'll get your dad to put them in the loft in case you come back"
This week has not been easy but I nearly wet myself laughing.
God Bless you Mum.

How do you know you won't come back? Many people do. I am even thinking myself about 'what if we don't like it' etc....

For goodness sake it is an anecdote. I do not want to get into why I am going and what I will do if I dont like it.
Please lighten up!

A smile means nothing. It is said that Indonesians have a smiley for every emotion.

= the daft westerner fell for it

Maybe I should have pointed out that a kettle and toaster is not something that will make me decide to come back.
I saw the whole episode as a bit of light relief in an otherwise shitty week.

I still have a couple of power tools and a kettle stored in my parents-in-law's basement.

They've been there for 32 years.
