It has been a long evening. I am especially irked because Papa did not help with the kid's homework. After Pavan is safely tucked in bed, I crib.
'You know, Papa, I would be really grateful if you take some interest in the brats education.'
'Whose education?'
I give him a look. 'Your sons!'
'I don't think that's a good idea.' he says.
'And why not?' I demand an answer.
'Because I fear for the poor fellow. If I teach him seriously, I will do some irreparable damage. Let him be a gavaar. At least he will be happy. He can always take adult education classes when he grows up. That will be cheaper than a life long shrink.'

Men!!!!
Can't help but agree. Though must admit have done everything contrary with Dhanno.
you know the life goes like that, all moms keep on thinking like that , thoda sa interest baap bete ko padhane me le to kitna accha hota, but in reality , in life no baap was even interested in studies, so kaise padhana....
the result of this post on my blog, as I can see by my side, baap bete kp padha raha hai. :)
thats the magical power u mothers have , the poor baap , he thinks , it is better to teach than to listen.
You will Enjoy this one...
The Mommy Test
I was out walking with my 4 year old daughter. She picked up something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took
the item away from her and I asked her not to do that.
Why?" my daughter asked. "Because it's been on the ground, you don't know where it's been, it's dirty and probably has germs" I
replied. At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked, "Mommy, how do you know all this stuff?"
"Uh," I was thinking quickly. "All moms know this stuff. It's on the Mommy Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be
a Mommy." We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information.
"OH…I get it!" she beamed, "So if you don't pass the test you have to be the daddy."
"Exactly" I replied with a big smile on my face.
HA HA ! Sounds like a page out of my life. My endless grouse about husband taking no interest in the kids' education. Though for a change I am learning to exhale....
