This weird combination is my mom’s and dad’s.

On the left side is a simple machine, handmade by my dad, the one that always be told with so much pride. The saying goes about how he invented this machine that helped a lot of his work to be easier and fancier. It was build from scratch with so low budget because he picked every parts of it from the things that have already been here in our house at the first place, like...
a gear from our old motorbike, a part from our old doorknob before we renovated our house, a kitchen knife, and a set of iron he welded together by his precious welding tools.

And standing next to it is the wonderful plant being, raised carefully with my own mom’s hand, being watered, prayed for and she even talked with this plant with all of her heart every morning. It is decorated by her most favourite pot she choosed by herself in her favourite little shop. There was different kind of soils and natural fertilizer she mix with her own theory with so much confidence and sureness, as if google never existed in her life. She never misses a chance to show me how proud she is, about her plant growing beautifully, mainly because it was raised by her and her only. Of course as expected of my mom.

In case you’re wondering why is it the leaf on the left side of the plant is broken, It is accidentally caused by this very machine. My mom was so mad about that and my dad was being scolded, because he wasn’t careful.

This kind of case actually happens a lot :V.
And... since they both have so much pride for theirs. So whenever one of them trying to brag theirs to the other, it’ll be never-ending battle.

It probably goes like this;
Y : "wow, look, I work on useless things and made it into this myself, how could my mind come up with something like this, right?"
X : "rather than that, see how talented I’m, I saved this plant without having to buy additional fertilizer, it even knows it lives because of my love!"

And I’ll always be in the middle, because they really are in need of appreciation.

That’s why, when this leaf incident happened,
My mom came to me complained about how my dad’s didn’t behave and ruined hers while making a creamy coffee for my dad. And I witnessed my dad sit in silence in the living room with pouted face while waiting for his cappuccino.

A peculiar sight that has become comfortable to look at, because we’ve learned to deal with it and tried to come to terms with this black and white traits for so long long time, kkk. And the result is this cute and lovely dynamic.

Hm, since, they're so cute anw for today's case I'll just laugh.

Does dynamic work on similar things?

…well sometimes not,

on the opposite,

sometimes…

It works on different things who are in need or finally understand and accepted each other.
