take care of your mother
I was watching the TV “Two and a half men”. The first time when I saw it, I loved it, because Charlie’s words are always so funny and full of humor and perfect irony. On the other hand, because it is so idiomatic, sometime it is difficult for me to get the exact meaning from the surface of the words.
Last night it was the second time for me to watch the scene of “take care of your mother”, which was the scene when Charlie went to do surfing but got drowned and saw his father, and his father told him to “take care of your mother”.
The story continued in a very irony way as it always did. In the end he got to know the really meaning of his father’s meaning was not to assume responsibility for his mother, it was the exact opposite meaning.
