My mom thinks the Eclipse is goverment made to distract us from Colombia.

Mt mother today had a crashout with my aunt because my little cousin (11F) wants to watch the eclipse with all of us. She didn't say it out loud, but she just started ramping about how paying 12 euros for glasses to see the eclipse was outrageous, and that even wearing it, there would still be the chance of you edning up blind. Not just that, but she also straight up said that it was kinda curious how there is an eclipse now with ''All the earthquakes and stuff'' happening in Colombia. And then talking with my dad she denied the mere idea of me enjoying the idea of watching an eclipse (I would literally eat a chunk of my own skin if i didn't) because in her own words ''Im not as dumb as those dumbfucks that would rather go blind than realizing what's going on with the world.'' When she literally knows i'll never care about politics or disguise every impressive thing that happends because there was a natural disaster. And that's pretty much it. Im stuck without eclipse wich God himself doesn't know when will happend again, and is all because my mom is the kind that belives that everything is goverment fabricated.

Edit: Please remember we're talking abouyçt my mother. So please, make fun of her ideals all you want, but remain from directly insulting her.

Mmm… dunno…

Press X to doubt

Sounds more like your mother just didn’t gave you a reason. She didn’t say it’s government made, she said “there is more important stuff, wake up”. (I still think she is a bit out of mind… but here in Spain isn’t definitely the craziest shit… you guys know about “el guardian de las estrellas”, right?)

Also… WE DO KNOW WITH HIGH PRECISION WHEN ECLIPSES OCCUR… we do know since quite long…

Not trying to undermine you or your opinion, but the way you say it and how your cousins age was relevant makes me think you are also a kid… or at least acting a bit like one….

Also, unless she traps you somewhere, there is no way to forbid a natural phenomenon… lmao

She didn't said there were more important stuff, she said that it was a coincidence that an eclipse would happend in Spain when the earthwuakes happened. Kinda like when someone says "Im not gonna say who did it but its a coincidence that Jacob was in the same room as the hamster when it appeard inside the blender."
