The first rule in mother-daughter gossips"Never spill out the beans to the men flock"
That's so easy.Why does men have to eavesdrop our conversation?.They are the best secret keepers around or are they?
Last day on one of those mother daughter gossiping session ,ma mother let out something that i found insulting and humiliating.I just wanted to get even with her.Off to Dad ,i went with ma complaint with precisely the same words ma mom used.With his jaws wide open ,Dad scolded mom and left her of with the warning never ever to speak to me like that.I saw strange look on ma mom's face or was she just faking?.After all the drama ,mom came up to me and said"You broke rule no:1 now you are in for some real trouble"."Mom you are saying this within 5 minutes of the reaction time.I'm not scared,with Dad on ma side ,never!!!" i gave her that attitude smile.Of goes one week and everything is back to semi-normal.
On one of those usual family gathering,dad blurts out the girly joke.The act of humiliation on a larger scale,with ma uncles,aunts,cousins hearing the same.Humiliating???ohhh common.Why cant guys keep a secret?.Dad didn't say anything when i mentioned how hurt i was.Even the firebrand can run out of spark at times.
Next time,let alone ma revenge get better of me,I'm not even ready to look out into Dad's face.It was an act of heroism,an act of getting a joke out of something that wasn't remotely funny and that too at ma cost.After all who said guys are good secret keepers??.Next time ladies
Shhhhh......
