My mom scolded me for eating the blueberry pie.
Yeah bluegie is right. A lot of papers (including the one I scanned int he first post) said she SWORE using 'baka' which is really dumb since baka is a pretty mild term imo. I just didn't want to further exaggerate the article in English, so I didn't use the word 'swore' at all to lighten tensions here.

The sad thing is most normal readers do not bother to analyse the content carefully and realise there's a lot of loops. They get easily swayed by the mere big and colourful headlines.
