Gotta be numb to work customer service.

    So, the kid is trying to give her mom an extra 6 days by exploiting the curse. I suppose I should be feeling some profound sadness or something, but instead I’m confused. Isn’t the kid really just prolonging her suffering?

      Thank you. Fuck low quality submissions. It means they got it somewhere besides the primary source.

      Explanation:

      Title: reference to the Fairly Odd parents meme “this is where I’d put my trophy… IF I HAD ONE”

      Body: the witch sold something an is thus in customer service. Even though her profession appears to be cursing people, she found a way to feel horrible through work anyway

    Sorry, I’m a bit dense.

    Is it sad because his mom is dying and he put the necklace on her anyway?

    Or that the necklace will allow her to pass away due to her poor health vs. suffering?

      My first reading was fucked up, and that the kid is the cause of the death by giving her the necklace.

      What’s really going on is the necklace makes them die in 7 days. They had less than 1, so the necklace will actually keep them alive longer.

      Boy and Mum, tears are bittersweet because they have 7 days to express a lifetime of love, but she will then die. Witch is either sad because curse is foiled, or she’s got a heart and is affected by what the boy did for his mum.

      6 bonus days of being with mum, is what I’m going with.

        My dad almost died of a massive heart attack 5 years ago. It was bad enough that we agreed to an NDA after his 4th crash in the ICU. We joke that he heard us talking and said “screw that” because he didn’t crash again and made a recovery.

        He’s now in the final stages of renal failure, and every extra day we got these last 5 years has been precious.

        If you have family you love, go give them a hug. They won’t be around forever, even if it feels like it sometimes

          And to add my own experience; if you have family you despise, don’t worry. They’ll outlive the heat death of the universe.
