It's three in the morning...

" Oh my son"

" Why mom, what's wrong with you this late at night "

" Oh, that little sister of ours from Hanguranketha, her son who worked in the police station died "

" Dad, what happened? How did mom know?"

" Oh, you're a big fan of Facebook, aren't you? Didn't you see that the Facebook sign said that the child was dead?"

" What? What sign?"

" Why are you so mad? The Facebook sign has put a white flag on his profile picture"

" Oh mom, that's not a joke that he's dead. It was a sign that someone else died... You broke my sleep too, mom"

" Okay, okay, you bastards, I've been trying to break your limbs since I was a child, so who has the right to break your sleep... I'm going Sleep...."

..................Three thirty in the afternoon........

"It's better to kill them than teach them... Wild beasts.. What kind of devil did you beat the one you found in the market last week, who was lying on his back and kneeling? You found him in the middle of the street, tell me, Puthandiya."

"Why, mother, why are you yelling at me like this? Don't let me sleep..."

"No, this afternoon, I put a flower in my ear and wrote a caption and put it in the picture of the robot.. That disciple of mine, Sumindaya, came and said "I love you"... Did he even think about my age at sixty-five, you bastard?"

"Okay, okay, now how did he say "I love you" to his mother? Did he text her..."

"No, no, he sent a red paper to my photo.. Wild dog"

"Oh, mother, that He left the love because he liked his mother's photo, not for a wedding love."

"Okay, okay, that's right..but your mouth is big..don't call him a son, you're just stretching your neck..."

........ Who is the idiot who made Facebook for our mother... Mark Zuckerberg, you should put an age limit on this shit..or kill me..
