“Are You Wearing That?” - Mum Ruins Entire Day With One Simple Question

26-year-old Betoota woman, Simone Ashford, has reportedly been struck with the brutal feedback that only post-war Australian mothers are capable of.

Simone said she had spent two months looking for the perfect dress for her cousin’s wedding, making sure it suited the cocktail dress code. 

“I shouldn’t have offered to share a lift with my parents, that was my first mistake” Simone shared. 

It was when Simone entered her family home that her 61-year-old mother Jane Ashford hit her with the most concentrated evil - that dates back to a very unhealthy 1980s diet culture.

“Not even a hello or how are you, just straight to are you wearing that???” Simone cried to our reporter. 

“Obviously I’m wearing this baby pink strapless drop waist Kookai dress, I didn’t just wear another cocktail dress to get changed into another!” 

Simone’s mother, Jane, didn't see what all the fuss was about. 

“I was genuinely asking... How was I supposed to know she was planning on walking into a Catholic Church dressed like Lady Gaga for christ's sake!” Jane explained. 

“I was going to ask if she had brushed her hair, but she was so offended by my first question I thought I better not.” 

Simone and Jane spent the entire Uber drive looking out their separate windows in silence, leaving father, Shaun to speak to the Uber driver about fuel prices.

“There was a lot of tension for sure, I try to keep out of these things” Shaun told the Advocate. 

"It's like the Cold War, and I'm Brazil. Nobody gives a fuck what I think, plus I don't really know what's going on"

The incident was thankfully resolved when both women had enough wines to point at each other playfully during the “you can dance, you can jive" as the wedding DJ played ‘Dancing Queen’.
