Junior & his Jibber Jabber

I just have to write this.

It is past 6 in the evening & I'm still on my laptop. Have work to do, but i'm too bored with it and want to post something on the blog.

Junior comes along and asks me "what are you doing?".

Me: "Working"
Junior: "Still!!!"
Junior: "Tell them you have to stop"
Me: The usual silent response
Junior then peeps into my laptop and says "Blogger! you're working on blogger. That is not work"

Boo....hoo...who taught these kids so much. Why can't I act like i'm working when I'm doing timepass on the laptop.

Boo...hoo

April A-Z challenge: When B means Bedtime...

Image
…by far the most awaited hour of the day! There is no other time the  beaten, fagged out corpulence so looks forward to after running around the world, or what seems like it for the last 86 hours, or what seem like it! Thankfully daughter associates bedtime with reading, a habit we got into from the time she was months old, and for me, there is no greater pleasure than those 20-30 minutes spent reading aloud to her. Now junior accompanies us with equal excitement, with his teeny-weeny adorable hardbound books, which he has taken to with little coaxing. Brat is now more or less on her own, except at times when she is reading period novels or mythology, where I feel the need to butt in to give some perspective. So focus shifts to Junior now. But I do miss reading to her, often enviously look at those pile of books, wondering what I’m missing, sometimes also read her books by myself, when I can hardly contain my curiosity, but I confess, reading her book by myself isn’t half

April A-Z challenge: A is for 'Alpha-Mom'

Image
This post is for Day 1 of April A-Z challenge. A is for 'Alpha-Mom' What happens when an ‘A’ type personality gives birth to children, she becomes the ‘Alpha Mom’, feeding, dressing, studying up early brain development, baking cup cakes with sprinkles, maintaining an impeccable house, working in and out of office/ home, chauffeuring the kids around for those innumerable activities, all at the same time!!! Did I mention the killer looks she maintains while doing all this! Incredibly competitive, with kids always ahead of their peers (coming from the less evolved genealogy, ahem!), perfectionist at work, running the domestic front with flawless steadiness, making the spouse proud, all at the same time, this woman never tires. She is the ‘Alpha-Mom’. As it turns out, I have settled down to Admire , Appreciate , Adore and be in Awe of this personality, while I remain the beta release , a trial version, always work-in-progress, worrying, wondering, experimenting, get

Feb Challenge: Day 3: Links

Image
Links                  That is the prompt for today in ‘Feb Challenge: A story for every picture, a picture for every story’. And here’s the rookie attempt, after joining in late by two days. So ‘Links’. ‘Quick links’!  And what comes to mind isn’t anything atypical of the current social network-savvy Gen X: "Let me express how much I like you, by sending you links. Meeting up for coffee is a thought, but coffee has too many calories! And links…they are quick to send and hey! you can let the world know how cool you are by sharing just the right link! Hey buddy! It’s been long….where have you been? I haven’t heard from you in a while… What! Are you kidding me…I make sure you are top most in my ‘Links List’….i forward you atleast a hundred links on a busy working day, and you make such a thoughtless remark! Hey, your profile indicates a lot of synergy with what I do . We must connect one of these days….how about we twitter for a time to meet , you could link
