just don't care

I was having a chat with a few friends. Well, perhaps a chat none of us should be having amidst revision, but nonetheless enriching.

I recounted a conversation that I had with my mum.

My mum has always found my dad looking disapprovingly when she did her sales talk to people about her health food.
She told me that dad gave her a black face again last Saturday when she was speaking to a church auntie about health products.

I asked her if she has ever considered that maybe dad doesn't believe that she's selling the health food to help people, but instead, thinking that she's really just after the money.
Who wouldn't be unhappy with that?
The expression on her face tells me it's the first time she considered such an idea.

My point was, I can't believe that after 20odd years of selling health food and receiving black faces, never did she sit herself down to think through the possible reasons.
I'm offended, I'm afraid because this only means she doesn't care nearly enough to think it over.

Then we think about how... little people think things through. And.. how little they care.
