One month from now?

I was having breakfast with my mum this morning and suddenly my mum told me a story of a friend.  It was rather funny but not to self-judge other people's action, I let you decide for yourself.

This male friend came to my mum's shop few days ago and asked my mum is she ready for the 21 December phenomenon.  I guess I no need t o tell you, you would know what is this phenomenon all about.  The NASA predicted total blackout and may stretched for 3 days or so.  So this friend of my mum told my mum that he has brought a lot of kerosene, food, canned food, mineral waters and crackers to be stored for the phenomenon.  And my mum being a very straight-forward lady, just replied him "Why need to store? If really the end of the world, the most is we all go together.  We have company." 

The the male friend continued to advise my mum to keep stock.  My mum replied him what happened if nothing happened and all my stock turns expired or rotten?? 

Funny when think of my mum's reply.  I never knew some people are so afraid of such prediction or rather, uncertainty and death.  Well, what ever happens on that day, I do not know but I know that I have loved ones with me and I am not alone to confront anything in front of me.
