Annette pulled up her phone again, trying to hide the shame that she felt when looking at that photo of her again. Her mother messaged her, and she had hoped that she would at least know that she wasn't like this, or at least normal so that she could help her not be a clown.
Whatever hope she had was drained as she read that message.
"Hope ya havin a great, goofy day, honeybun hyuck xxoo"
Her eyes went as wide as they could. She was shaking as she looked through any previous messages that she had sent to her mom. Anything, even the most mundane of replies and requests that she or her mother had asked. As she looked at her mother's texts, she saw no change from a clowny-like attitude.
Nearly all of the texts had the word "hyuck" planted somewhere in whatever they were talking about. She kept giving her cutesy yet creepy names like "Ditzy-da" and "Goofy-do", it was hard to believe that this was the same person she knew from birth. And then... she saw a picture of her mother. The first thing she saw was her wide hips. They didn't look like they could be contained in that goofy-ass dress she was wearing. Her butt looked like it grew three sizes, as well as her breasts. Even from the angle that she shot the photo, it looked like the camera added to her bust and butt size. Her hair was more orange, all done up in the frizziest hair that she had ever seen. Her face, forget that, her skin was all white. Tennis ball-like red nose, huge painted on smile, the whitest teeth that she ever saw, she couldn't believe it.
That was what her mother was like now.
That is her mother.
Annette was about to weep, until she heard something coming from Jamie.
