"I would break your sister's head if I saw her." She sat down, tapping her fingers on her lap, obviously entangled in her restlessness. Upon hearing her response, I suggested casually, in an attempt to lighten up her mood, "There's a knife in the kitchen, just stab her instead," I said as I changed the channel since my mother's nagging and disturbance had made me lost interest in the movie. "Your sister is missing, and you are so focused on... On..." My mother got up and snatched the remote from my hand. Immediately, she switched it off, which got on my nerves. "Mother!"
