Some days back, my husband and I were having a discussion. One of my daughters intervened and asked what were we talking about. I smiled at her and said, "Nothing for you darling. You may not understand. Just go back and play." She gave me a bizarre look. The meaning of her look seemed to me thus - "What is there for you both to discuss without my intervention and what the hell have you got to discuss that I cannot understand?"
A couple of days back my daughters were talking something from the hall and I couldn't hear them since I was operating the mixie. I thought that the two were talking to me. So soon after I was done with the mixie, I went to them and asked, "What?"
Shruthi: What "what"?
Me: What do you want to say?
Shruthi: Nothing
Me: I heard you both talking while I was operating the mixie
Shruthi: Oh that?! That was anyway not meant for you
Me: @#?! What? Not meant for me?
Shruthi: Yes. Not meant for you. We were discussing something about our school and friends that which you will not know or understand.
Oops! Was this a tit for tat for what I did a few days back? I got to watch every step I take, I wish they are not going to turn out to be revengeful in the future!!
Haha... that was a tight slap on the face. :D
ReplyDeleteDear Latha,
ReplyDeleteYou have made your own mirrors which will do whatever you do(of course you have two mirrors)!
Oh yes Padmaja! It indeed was a tight one.
ReplyDeleteYes, Prakashika. I have to be watchful over every action of mine. :)
ReplyDeleteThevadhan..no wonder children learn everything from us - and whether we like it or not - the ones we don't want them to learn stick firmly in their little minds.
ReplyDeleteExactly! They learn all strange words and behaviour from me rather than the better ones. :)
