I Can't Touch Mom

Story Time Animated
About this episode

Hi I’m Sophie from Nevada.

I never had a dad growing up, it was always just me, my mom and my menace of a sister, Chelsea. Ever since we were kids Chelsea's only goal was to destroy my life! Once when I was 7 I was laying on the couch watching the latest story time animated video with my headphones on when all of a sudden my devilish sister snuck up behind me with scissors and cut the wire.

“What's wrong with you DORK?!”

“*evil laughter*”

I didn’t understand why Chelsea hated me so much, but at least I had my mom. She was always so kind and I loved her so much. But then, when I was 10 years old, that all changed.

I ran over to give my mom a hug, but as soon as I came into contact with her I started violently sneezing. It felt like I had the worst cold ever. The cold lasted for the rest of the week, and it always seemed to get worse whenever mom was around me. It was weird. We contacted the doctors, and they broke the heavy news to us.

“It seems Sophie has a rare condition called momiaphosia. It means she’s allergic to you.”

“What? How is this possible?”

“It’s rare, but it has happened before. We advise that you stay away from your daughter as long as possible, until we find a cure.”

It’s been 5 years since that doctor’s appointment, and they still haven’t found a cure. My life has been miserable ever since, even more miserable than Chelsea’s little devilish schemes. I can never see my mom. We have to live in separate parts of the house. If I want to speak to her it can only be when I’m at least 10 metres away. I hate it.
