My mother is a poor cook

My mother is a poor cook. Thanks to the fact, my skill in cooking has improved. If she tries to make something new, she certainly fails in it. It seems that she does not try to improve her skill. But she is good at knitting. In winter, when I was a child, my mother made me wear sweaters which my mother knit. She is clever with her hands, and I think she is at her best in the house, but why is she so poor at cooking? Maybe cooking a meal does not suit her taste.
My mother is a woman who has a lot of guts. When she gets rid of a centipede in summer I really feel she is strong. She seems to have overcome a lot of difficulties, so the guts of my mother is greater than that of all my family members. And she is a bit careless. I have much inherited this disposition. It is difficult for me and my mother to conquer it.
As my friends come to my house and talk with my mother, they all laugh and say, "Your mother is funny," or "Your mother is cute." Somehow it doesn't make me feel comfortable. As far as she is concerned, she has no will to make them laugh and she is just being herself. But the people who meet her first seems to think that she has a unique style.
My mother sometimes takes good care of me, sometimes snaps at me. But she is always concerned about me, and I rely on her very much. I am deeply grateful to her. Someday when I become a working member of the society, I'd like to let her travel around the world, for she shuts herself up in the country town in Tochigi.
