The perfect pet
Really sorry--I have had to remove this post as it will soon appear in a book. Making it available online would have been very unfair to my publisher who has placed so much trust in me. I hope you enjoy the other posts as much as you enjoyed this one. A heartfelt thanks for your support and understanding.Thanks for continuing to read what I write.
Wow...I am the first...That has never happened...Anyway, great post...I knew there had to be some twist at the end :)
ReplyDeleteAin't this cool. And let me tell you, my mom is just exactly the same for me. Yeah she is my pet :). Guess all mommys are for their kids.
ReplyDeleteI think my mom was like this - but I don't think she should have been. When I first moved to hostel and when I first came here to US, some things were extremely painful and tough on me - had she made me more independent, I would have been better off...someday u have to move out and I think parents should prepare us somewhat for that day, rather than being hit hard like in my case.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm not a mom yet so I don't know how easy or difficult it is to do so I give all moms the benefit of experience :)
Shachi: It was a humorous post :-) We all learn don't we? My mom was opposite of your mom--but I dont think i 'became a better person' because of that, in anyway at all. I guess you'll know when you become a mom :-)
ReplyDeleteAnusha: Not all mothers are :-) Ones who have are lucky :-)
Plas world: Yes you are!
Ahahaha!! So cute n funny ! :D
ReplyDeletebut the only place I lost u is…. When u say that they got a new pet when you/they moved to Uk?? Haven’t they had this pet ALWAYS, like even before they actually arrived into this world?! :)
Pavi: :-)Thanks![ Finally someone saw the humour--hooray!] Oh no--only after we moved to UK did this pet arrive..In India there were maids and stray cats to do all that :-)
ReplyDeleteHey that's really coool didn't get that "Mommy" hint..only towards the end of the post I got it :)
ReplyDeleteMy mom is too the same way as how it is described in here...she gets up early, prepares breakfast, packs lunch and till we all go to Office/College, she never rests...
Nice post btw :)
& forgot 2 tell u this...ur new theme luks neat and clean !! :)
ReplyDeleteThat was so sweet.Really...I was wondering and guessing what it must be...and a nice twist in the end.
ReplyDeleteI am still smiling :)
A really good one..i kept on wondering until the last moment,what sort of a pet it was,that could multitask..
ReplyDeleteThat is a good one Preeti. Everyone would love this pet :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute post!! What about all the Hugs and Kisses that the pet is showered with?? Totally priceless!!!
ReplyDeleteNice and cute post,Preeti. Loved the guesswork till the end of the line.
ReplyDeleteI am having a sweet "aah moment" just as I type this very comment. A big kiss from my 2 and a half year old. Hehehe

Gayu

Nice one Preeti
ReplyDeleteI think you have discovered one more new facet of a mother - who is a friend, a companion, a punching bag, ------- the list goes one.
Sandhya: true..Add to it driver, maid, nurse, cook :-) the list does go on.

Nice post!!!!
ReplyDeleteI knew this is wat s gonna come at the end!!! ;)
Who else can be this picture perfect!!!! :)
I was seriously thinking that this pet existed and i was seriously thinking to adopt a pet like that as I am very fond of pets and dont have time to take care of that, Ah, you ditched me Preethi, Ha Ha Ha :-)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, it was a nice post.
ha..ha..ha...
ReplyDeleteGuess what, I have been reading your blog silently since a few months, always enjoyed them and even voted for you as my favorite blogger but never felt like leaving a comment.
This one moved me since I share the same feelings and am in a way the favorite pet of my two little girls :-) Needless to say I knew the answer before reaching the end...
-Shobha
:D all smiles.. am too used to being pampered...
ReplyDeletewas that a self-bashing or taking credit. LOL. I dont mean any of those, I know a mother works more than a Honey Bee and gets less compliments or recognition than a honey bee. I came to know you are talking about yourself(or your hubby) in the first few line. But just to make sure i had to read the whole of the blog. Kudos to mommies, including you, for making the world such a lovely place.
ReplyDeleteHeheh i figured the pet has to be mommy...LOL very funny and well written post... :) lucky kids heheh...
ReplyDeleteOhh i love the new look of ur blog, very cute and intresting....
And have a wonderful trip to India, enjoy urselves... Hey wen is ur birthday? My wishes to u :)
me waiting for my little one to arrive this month, ya a december baby....
great one Di....awesum......it brought a smile..........ad also a guilt for all those times i scream at my mummy for throwing my clothes into the machine,cooking things i dont like. Asking me my departure date the the same date i reach home (i took that otherwise)Getting cuddly whe i am at the worst of my moods. FOr useless things. For waking meup early in the mornig so as to drop her at the office.I luv u mum....Miss u pch. Tnx di....
