Parents, Cigarettes and Health: Bullseye

Bullseye

By cannabis_this420 - 17/03/2009 01:42 - United States

Today, my mother called me and told me that she went to the hospital. This wasn't a surprise 'cos she normally goes to the hospital for the smallest things. I was a smartass and asked, "What now? You finally have lung cancer from all those cigarettes?" Apparently, she does. FML

Today, in front of a hospital, I noticed that an old lady was having trouble lighting her cigarette because she had Parkison's. So I went to help her to light it up and she then started chatting with me and told me she had lung cancer. FML

Cold open

Today, I visited my ex-girlfriend's house. I saw her mother and asked, "Hi! Have you recovered from that nasty cold that you had for so long?" She said, "I don't have a cold," to which I smiled and said, "That's great to hear!" Turns out she has lung cancer instead. FML

Today, it's the third day since my mum quit smoking, and I realised that her health-drive is having a negative effect on my own health when she bitch slapped me down the stairs because she didn't get a joke I told her. FML

Today, I called my mother to tell her about my terminal cancer diagnosis. She responded with, "What makes you think I care at all?" before hanging up. FML

Today, my mother told my little sister and me that she has breast cancer to make us feel sorry so that we would clean our rooms. She is perfectly fine. My little sister still thinks that "mommy is going to die". FML

Today, my friend (she's 14) said she had lung cancer. This made me and my other friend very worried for her, but now we know she was faking it since when she was "at the hospital" she was at a friend's house, and her mom came to the school to confirm she was faking the whole thing. FML

Addictions kill

Today, my mom fell and hit her head on our coffee table when walking inside. She tripped on a 1 cm gate rail. She split her head open and there was so much blood. This is the third bad fall in 2 weeks. She still smokes, despite having COPD, and the ER doctor telling her smoking is depriving her brain of oxygen. FML

Today, I called my mom for the first time in a few weeks, just to chat because I miss her. When she picked up, the first thing she said was, "Why are you calling? What's wrong? Do you have swine flu??" When I told her that I didn't, and I just wanted to chat, she hung up. FML

I feel sorry for everyone who gets cancer, smoker or not. No one deserves such a painful disease.

LOL good XD dumb bitch had it coming, if she goes to the hospital for retarded stuff. . .ohh and #42, you're a bit of a hypocrite if you think about it. . . cause you MUST have smoked a big ass joint to say something stupid like that. People DO deserve cancer. Don't you think Hitler, or Saddam Hussein deserved cancer? Hell, in my opinion, the whole shitty human race deserves cancer! XD myself included. . . ahahaahahahahhh. . .yep, imma dick :D

XP seriously, when god was handing out brains, he musta not liked you 'n shit in yer head XD [for the record, i'm atheist, but that was the most appropriate thing i could come up with other than a simple "you're stupid", which most deffinately would NOT have sufficed. . . [by the time i finished editing, the piece 'o shit site said "times up" -_- . . .go suck a donkey scrotum fml] [for the record 2.0, i can be quite articulate and intelligent, however, it's eaiser to insult retards on this site, when i forgo etiquette :P . . .p.s. don't worry, i know i'm bound to get banned soon XD]

wow... i can't believe some people would say your mom deserves this. Yes, we know smoking can cause cancer. But that still doesn't mean she DESERVED to get sick. Nobody does. She's not a bad person or anything. She just has an addiction. Like I'm sure most of us drink alcohol, knowing it can cause many problems, short and long termed. But we do it anyway. People need to grow up. I'm sorry to hear about your mom.

Well, that was sort of a smart-ass thing for you to say when you didn't know why she went to the hospital yet... But considering she's an adult and knew the risks of smoking, don't feel TOO bad. I do hope she pulls through okay, though. Maybe this will convince her to quit?
