I chuckled uncontrollably upon hearing it.
“Somebody that’s just like you,”
“Like me… like, weird?”
“Yep,”
“Just how come you define me as ‘weird’ anyway?”
“Easy. Somebody that weirdly possesses a huge love for magic though apparently she will never be able to do any real one,”
I blinked, “But it’s cool if I can do magic,”
“At your age, most people will find it childish,”
“Maybe because they don’t have happy fantasy inside their head,”
“Most people has done fantasizing magic as they leave teen, but you instead insisted of having long black robe and making high cone hat,”
“I have some ideas and someday I’d like to take a photo of myself as a wizard,”
Chuckle was all I hear.
I blinked, “Maybe I am not that ‘most people’,”
“How about somebody who possesses a weird alternate ending for Cinderella?”
I smiled, “It’s a more realistic version of the ending,”
“The ending of Cinderella: the kingdom would go bankrupt because Cinderella was too stupid to rule as a queen,”
“Yeah, it was far more realistic. There’s no book ever stated that Cinderella was a clever girl to begin with. And if Cinderella was clever, she would never be enslaved by her step mother!”
“That’s how fairy tale goes,”
“That’s silly. In a complete way,”
“Or maybe, somebody who always says that when a princess was captured by a dragon then she has to be able to kill the dragon herself before any rescue. Somebody who said that it would be an enormously cool scene when the rescuer came in shock because the princess was a master of sword fighting,”
“No! The princess is the master of mage. A wizard,”
“Uh, okay, magic. Surely it’s like violating fairy tale’s rule for me,”
“I wonder why there are many fairy tales state woman as weakling anyway. Woman knight or wizard is undeniably cool. She could fight for herself, protect herself, protect others. Isn’t it better to protect than to be protected?”
“Indeed,”
I smiled.
“But for some other reason, I still admit that you are very different than others,”
I laughed, “Different? You’re not calling me weird again? It’s fine being called ‘weird’ anyway. Weird people always win,”
“How come they always win?”
“Because they’re weird,” I stated simply.
I drew a laughter from her, “Indeed. Only weird people can say something like that,”
I laughed again.
“Definitely has to be someone as weird as you to understand all these,”
I smiled.
“To understand you,”
I chuckled.
“Normal people will never get your way of thinking,”
“I AM STILL normal,”
“Normal-and-not-weird people. The normal of normal,”
“Fiiine,”
“But that’s alright. You just have to make your own fairy tale and slay the dragon with your magic,”
“Absolutely,”
“Never give up through everything in life is also a sign of knighthood,”
I nodded.
“You still wish to be able to use magic?”
I nodded faster.
She smiled at me.
“Er… but anyhow Mom, for you to understand all these, do you not think that you’re also… weird?”
I got my mother stared at me.
