Drama of the Duo

February 14,2005 ..Valentine's bug had bit us real hard, the very first time.Me with my then boyfriend,now husband were in this hot-shot coffee joint celebrating our new found friendship with sparkling eyes which could have jolly-well inspired Salman Khan's Dabanng'ed glasses.Just like the rest of the clan,we were glued to the chairs for longer than required to sip a cuppa...and the BF decides to pop the million-dollar question with a child like innocence,"Sho,wanna ask you something..been in my mind since long".My heart skips a beat and taken by his charm.. directs the head to give a nod."can I ?hmm..can I touch...the mole,the one above the upper lip?" .Phew! One had to grab the beating heart before it took a plunge straight into the cappuchino cup.Well..I just obliged with a smile,as you guessed right.
Fast forward to the present,his spawn equally fascinated by the said mole in the wee hours of morning as Iam snoring to glory decides to relieve Mamma of the handicapped housefly who wudn't budge and pulls it out with all her might..Ouch! One can do nothing..but blame the genes!

..here are the many such gene-blaming-moments Mamma has endured oflate btw the Pappa and Pollu,the spawn.
~ Iam no Garnier fructis ad girl - Adding to the mole,both are equally crazy about Mamma's hair.Pappa likes it long and strong.Pollu is the self-appointed-testing-officer.
~ Hate food,Trash food - The veggie/fruit from their hate-list will only end up trashed into Mamma's elastic tummy if attempts to mask it were being made.
~ Hogwarts time-keepers - They doze off quickly on the dot, that Mamma wonders if all the worries of the household were leased to her on perma-contract.
~ The Jim Carrey effect - Avocado is a big NO-NO for the duo.So Mamma being the "never give up trying" types,purchases them very often.But the forbidden ends up trashed as a face pack  and one is left wandering doing the chores as a fatter version of Jim Carrey with the MASK.
~ Alien on the hide?-Both Pollu and Pappa sit with their torso's leaning forward most of the times as if an invisible alien is sitting behind and admiring their backs,while Mamma reclines till her knees hits the chin with a bang.
~ The love of Drums - A pain in the Mamma's ..eardrums! Pappa and Pollu enjoy their drumming sessions in the R-Tap app on the iPad.Pollu though..is a bit more hard-working and continues the drumming sessions by banging on the walls with her round head.Hope she doesn't end up with an iron-board head..worried Mamma hopes!
~ Video fetish - Both can watch a said video for Zillion times looping and re-looping until the vaayu bhagwan himself denies to carry the repeated decibels in disgust.No wonder Mamma ends up hearing the very same background scores even in her dreams.
~ Warm water sucks - The father daughter duo hate warm water while Mamma drowns piping hot litres like a thirsty camel, in an attempt to melt away the fat deposits.

& if you ..are wondering with raised eyebrows as to how an 8-month old can show so much attitude..well , be my guest!
