May be because of deviation from ma usual attitude of "IM THE BOSS" to a more sober one of "LEAVE ME ALONE", I could see the tiny dot of suspicion in ma mama's eyes. As i started countin time sittin at ma desk.............. when I hit exact 20 I saw ma mom standin near ma desk. "wazz with your life" she asked. "Nothin" I said with the arrogance of a teenager. I could see on her face the strain of the mother of a 19 year old. She kept on naggin me for 30 min ............then finally for ma own peace of mind I said "havin a fall out with friend" .Mama's strained expression turned into a more relaxin one. She started narratin her own college days..........Its amazin how ma mom weaves her own story hidin a solution deep inside. She knows that givin an advice to a teenager like me is like tellin me not to even listen.............Instead of directly tellin she let me know that if the solution worked for her it may work for me 2...........True i fell into her trap.....may be its her experience with life that does the trick. I decided to carry out the same test on dad . If ma mom could figure out whats wrong with me surely dad will too.................dad saw ma sober expression n put in "place your bets who will win today's match??"
Im sure ma mom caught me starin with ma mouth wide open.......
Suppose thats the main difference between moms n dads. Whereas moms get involved in their children's day to day life dad's are more concerned about providin materialistic support to their kids.
that what they call
"connection of umbilical chord"
