I remember that day when mum was washing up after dinner and I, feeling too at ease from good exchange and being drunk, released a blow that struck her popliteals.
I pretended not to notice that she pretended not to mind.
In the kitchen, words spilled out that I’ve since wanted to gobble up a thousand times.
She nodded and feigned a smile as I spoke, while by her side, picked away thumb cuticles with her candid finger.

lol no, it's a metaphor. I told her some news (a blow) that caught her off-guard. ie. like being hit behind your knees, it makes your legs buckle.

I guess having to explain your writing isn't a very good sign :/

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Don't like your use of the word candid, there are far better words available.

etymology. It is such a hypocritical word in the modern world.
