My Mom Used To Be Some Sort of Actress | Animated Stories | My Story Animated

my mom used to be an actress back before i was born it wasn't something i found out until recently she stopped acting when she got pregnant you see and gave up the career altogether to stay at home and look after me it was something she'd never spoken about before in fact i found out completely by accident which led to a whole other mess but anyway i guess i should start back at the beginning i was helping my mom dig through some old paperwork one day when i came across an acting certificate with my mom's name on it i was immediately surprised as i never knew she'd been on the movie screen before i showed her and asked about it but she quickly snatched it from my hand and said it was nothing to worry about just some old rubbish she went on as though nothing had happened but she refused to tell me anything about what she did before i was born i didn't think much of it at the time my mom could be funny like that especially with her privacy she didn't like everyone knowing her business not even her own son but it wasn't something i could just forget i was intrigued what if she was some world famous actress back in the day i ended up bringing it up with my friend at school the next day we were waiting around for class to start when i mentioned i'd found some old acting certificate of my mom's she'd been weirdly evasive about it though and refused to tell me what it was about i also found it odd that she'd never told me what her occupation was before she quit to become a stay-at-home mom my friend had agreed that it was pretty weird and then he gave me a weird sort of look as though a thought had just occurred to him and he said you know there are some darker genres of films out there especially if she's embarrassed about it don't you think she might be trying to hide something a bit more scandalous i hadn't quite understood what he meant at first darker genres did he mean like horror but when i asked him what he meant he just laughed and said he was probably overthinking it he said my mom wasn't the kind of woman to be into that sort of stuff he couldn't imagine it didn't want to imagine it that's when i realized what he was implying and i immediately went quiet surely my mom hadn't been involved in anything like that before i was born right but then again why would she try so hard to keep it a secret from me that night i couldn't sleep thinking about what my friend had said what if my mom really had been involved in those sorts of films the thought made me shudder i really hoped it wasn't the case at all i don't think i'd ever be able to look at her the same way again the next day at school i was greeted by laughter everyone was staring at me snickering and chuckling and whispering to each other i was horrified what was going on i quickly went to find my friend and asked him why everyone was laughing at me he just shrugged and said someone else must have found out about my mom's acting career i didn't understand how could someone else find out when i had only just discovered it myself unless he was lying and he was the one who had told everyone i was horrified and immediately annoyed why would he do that he knew how embarrassing that would be for me i told him he'd been a rubbish friend and stormed off everyone's laughter following me to class someone even stopped me in the hallway and asked is it really your mom in that film my face went red and i pushed past him scowling how did they even find out what the film was my mom never told me anything about it i should have asked them what it was called but i wasn't sure i wanted to know i wasn't sure i wanted to see it if i really wanted i guess i could have googled my mom's name but i wasn't sure i'd like what came up what sort of images would be out there if my mom really was in that sort of film i spent the rest of the day ignoring everyone and staying hunched up in the corner of the classroom wishing the day was over i figured it was finally time to confront my mom about it i wanted to get the truth from her even if it meant the embarrassment that would come with it but i hated having the whole school laughing at me for it why did she have to ruin my school career with her shady past when i got home my mom was cooking dinner i decided to wait until after we'd eaten to speak to her about it as i didn't want to cause any awkwardness at the dinner table my dad was in a sour mood from work and went to bed early and me and my mom were sitting watching television when i switched it off and turned to her the whole school's been laughing at me i said completely serious mom gave me a concerned look what do you mean are you being bullied she asked not bullied i told her but everyone's making fun of me because of that movie you were in she stared at me for a long time before she started laughing herself i was horrified it's not funny i can't believe you did something like that before i was born and now everyone knows it's so embarrassing my mom had looked confused what do you mean honey why are you so angry at me because the whole school has probably seen you you know she shook her head honey i don't know what you mean i stormed off to bed then why was she playing ignorant i already knew her secret so why wouldn't she just come out and admit to it i couldn't sleep that night either i was worrying about going to school in the morning everyone would be laughing at me again they'd think i came from a messed up family or something the next day i dragged myself to school without speaking to my mom she looked kind of upset when i refused to say goodbye and i did feel a little bad but it was her fault for keeping this a secret from me maybe if she told me to start with the whole school wouldn't have found out before me my friend was waiting for me when i got there but i ignored him it was his fault too for telling everyone about it i thought you were supposed to trust friends to keep your secrets but i guess not when he saw me he ran to catch up with me asking why i was ignoring him i told him he knew why because he'd told everyone about my mom's embarrassing past he looked confused and told me he didn't do anything like that he told nobody about it but then how did everyone find out he said that maybe someone had been listening into our conversation about it and told everyone we hadn't exactly been talking about it quietly i could see that he was being honest and realized he was probably right i apologized for doubting him but it still didn't solve the problem he asked me what but it still didn't solve the problem he asked me what problem i was talking about i looked at him incredulously the fact that the whole school knows about my mom's shady past my friend just laughed asking what i was talking about he said there was nothing shady about it i was confused again i thought he'd said that it was that sort of film my mom had been involved in but he shook his head and said he was just speculating the film my mom's in was nothing like that i asked why everyone was laughing at me then why my mom never told me about her acting career it didn't make sense that's when i finally found out the truth my friend told me that the film itself is just a regular old romantic comedy everyone was laughing because it was funny and in the movie my mom had to kiss another man even though she was married to my dad at the time that's the only reason everyone was laughing i felt so stupid then i couldn't believe i had actually thought my mother was involved in that kind of thing and i'd been so mean to her too i would have to apologize but i was so relieved i wouldn't have to spend the rest of my life thinking my mom was involved in some scandalous movie after all my name is emma i'm 25 and live in a fairly nice home some would call me wealthy but i don't like to brag one day i was walking home and a group of boys jumped me i couldn't defend myself against all of them they were going to molest me luckily a man that was walking by was able to stop them he led me to somewhere safe telling me that his name was robert he shared the same sense of humor as me we quickly became good friends after many months our relationship grew to something more i thought he loved me but all he was after was my money on one of my birthdays he drew a beautiful portrait of me i had no idea he was able to draw so well i had that picture hung up on my wall for so long he proposed to me soon after and i immediately accepted i was ecstatic i thought i was finally getting my happy ending sometimes i see a phone number pop up on robert's phone but he'd never answer it i asked him one time why he never answers his phone he said that it was one of his clients i knew it was a lie but i didn't say a few weeks later i wanted to surprise robert for being a great fiancee i went to his house and hid in a closet until he came home i heard his footsteps and prepared myself to jump out then i heard a woman's voice and froze they were in the middle of a conversation one about me robert says that he got what he wanted and is about to break up with me he was using me i jump out of the closet and throw the wedding ring at his feet i left that house with tears rolling down my cheeks i cried as i drove home my vision was so blurry i had to pull over my car i continued crying for i don't know how long it wasn't until i heard a knock on my car door that i realized i wasn't alone in the parking lot i wiped my eyes and rolled down my window hey he said you probably shouldn't be driving that condition i can take you home if you'd like i wasn't sure about letting a stranger drive my car but i was also desperate about getting home he told me his name was alex and he was a banker he looked trustworthy enough so i agreed still holding my phone if i needed to dial 9-1-1 luckily he was good to his word and brought me home weeks after that we were still talking and alex came to check up on me every day i realized that not all men are like my ex robert and i allow myself to open up i somehow found love again with alex alex proposed to me months later and we got married it wasn't long after that i found out i was pregnant i assumed it was alex's and he did too he was overjoyed about a child one day he was using my phone while i was cooking and called me over there was worry in his voice alex showed me a picture that i'd taken with robert kissing me on my cheek i'd forgotten to delete it i tell alex about robert and explain that he has nothing to worry about my ex was a jerk and i delete the photo a few days later i gave birth to a baby boy alex mentions that the baby doesn't resemble him i think he was worried that our baby wasn't his two years pass and alex is still uncertain about our child i try to tell him that it is definitely his but he isn't convinced we get a dna test to put his concerns to rest we wait a few weeks for the results it is alex's child we were both relieved alex finally stops mentioning the resemblance of our child and we move on with life it's a fairly normal and boring one but i wouldn't trade it for the world [Music] [Applause]
