Mothers ; Bird Nests

My mum has been coming to my house recently, after knowing i am working from home.

whenever she comes, she will start to add water to the fish tank and feed them. she will always say this "the big big fatties. have your food and be even fat fat". quite cute actually.
then she will see the clothes before. either wash or collect clothes and iron. then boil water, then vacuum and then...... i have observe her for some time and it is always the same routine. told her many times jus to rest, and she will start to move about. haiz.....

yesterday she comes with a 6-pack bird nest. and says this pack has been at home and nobody drinks. since your appetite will be picking up soon but not now, i can drink these bottled ones. she then adds these bottled ones are only sugar water with a wee bit of bird nest.

then she says this sundae morning she will go "gai gai' with my MIL, and they have agree it is time to shop for the "real stuff". i said "what?"
they say we are going to invest in birdnests and take turns to cook for you. trust us, it will be real stuff. i then tell her can don't be exaggerating or not. please do not spend too much. she says should be budget 1k on bird nests from both of them. if finish then see how it goes.
i tell her to give me the 1k and i buy myself. then she says "you though 1k bird nest can eat very long?".

i like bird nests. tried the ones both of them make before, not bad. but the money part i jus feel a bit of heart pain. to me, it is just another form of nutrition.
she sounds insistent. jeff calls my MIL. she also says insistent and says, "dun worry. the 1k we can win back from genting."
