//------------------------------// // Easy as pie // Story: Bits and Pieces // by RainbowDash73 //------------------------------// Easy as pie...yeah, right. When somepony says "easy as pie", you usually think of the dessert, right? Or maybe even the mathematical term, like I do. In my case, life is as easy as pi. I've decided to gallop to my mother's for a visit. It's not the most pleasant outside; it's pouring rain. I'll cope with it, though. I'm sure my mother misses me. I don't come by that often, so I guess this is a surprise. She'll enjoy it. It'll take her mind off everything else that she's been dealing with, like money problems. I finally ended up at my mother's house, my coat and my mane soaked with rain. I knocked on the door and stood under the awning that I was suddenly very thankful for. I get to my mom's house and knock on the door. As I expected, my mother is surprised to see me. "Oh, come inside, Rainbow! It's pouring out there! You're going to catch a cold!" I had forgotten how much she's worried about me over the years, yet she never worries about herself or drags others into her problems. "I know, Mom, but I thought it'd be a nice surprise." I'm trying to regain her attention. She's shuffling through a cabinet looking for a towel. A small towel is draped over my shoulders like a cape. "Well, I'm glad you did, but you could have at least worn your raincoat." She's still worried about me and not even worried about herself. Maybe after taking care of me and my siblings, she's become more generous. Generosity is always a good thing, but it's corrupted her and she has begun to disregard everything else in favor of caring for me and my family. At the time, me and my siblings didn't understand why she worried so much, but as we grew older, we began to get it. Sometimes life is as easy as pi: confusing and infinite.
