she wins!

in my attempt to convince mum that bee has her interest at heart, i tried to play up to religion card. afterall, she has the habit of falling back to religion whenever she's uncomfortable... here's how the conversation went:

me: you know, he has your interest at heart and helps me whenever he can. i am thankful to him for being around...

mum: (ignoring what i said) ... i always pray to god and to buddha to bless you.

me: ah, yes, he is also a good practising buddhist. and he, like you and i, goes the kmspks to pray to the buddha. he also helps out at buddhist temples and observes vegetarianism regularly. 

mum: no, the buddha he prays to is fake...

me: ....

she wins...
