such a pretty girl, and she talks so badly

When I was dependent on my mom, I often heard her scrub my mouth with soap if I continued to swear. Now that I am independent, all she can tell me is: such a pretty girl, and she talks so badly.

Remembering her words, I try to eat the soap and thus submit myself to see if I am able to remain in such a passive, dispassionate attitude. After all, mothers want the best for their children.
