My parents always treat me like a child, unless no mater how old I am. My mom will prepare a toothbrush for me every morning and even put toothpaste on my toothbrush. Sometimes I can’t bear it, I’ll tell her that I’m mature now and that I can handle it myself. My mother has already retired but my father is still working.  Because my parents have their own habits, my mother likes dancing and my father likes playing mahjong, they will go outside and my dogs would be waiting on me.
