Sr : Knock !!! Knock !!!!!
Sh : Who is it ??????
As though there is a dozen ppl living in this house. S never knocks, when he knows that his daughter is inside. It’ll be either me or Sr. And when I knock, I’ll always call out her name, while knocking. It’s only Sr who knocks and waits.
Sr : Open the Door !!!! Now !!!!! I need something urgently !!!!!
Sh : What do you want now ????? I closed just 2 mins back. If you are inside the room and I knock on the door, you never respond and neither you open. Just imagine how hurt I felt. Now, its ur turn. Wait.
The conversation is flowing without opening the door.
Sr : Knock !!!! Knock !!!!!
Sh : Maaaaaa !!!!! Look at her !!!! Sr is not even allowing me to change !!!! Can’t she wait for just 5 mins ????? Do you remember how much I waited outside the room the other day ?????
Ma is just neutral – She has learnt better not to take sides during such arguments and especially when they are leaving for school. I try to keep up my cool with a great effort by doing Kapalabati Pranayama (the breathing exercise, which does wonders to your body) !!!!! 🙂 🙂
Beauty bath and changing to their uniform, is the most important and only thing they do, before going to school everyday. And so, the bathroom is occupied for long times. Not only the bathroom, the bedroom too is gone for changing to their uniform. And My God, how much time these girls take, to just change into one dress ????? And when one of them is inside, the other just cannot wait outside. Exactly at that particular instant, the other one will remember of something and will knock the door down, till the other opens it !!!!!
So, dear God, when will my daughters learn to do things smart and fast ?????? And what’s this funda about closed doors ?????? 🙄
It looks like there is a LOC near the entrance to their room and a prior permission (VISA) is required for valid entry. And I certainly don’t think that I’ll be given a VISA so easily !!!! I may have to bribe her for that VISA. 😉
For them, closing the door of the bedroom and doing their STUFF, is the way to live. And when all the cousins get together, its madness !!! All those teenagers are IN, but we, elders are all OUT of the room !!!!
I wonder what goes on behind the closed doors !!!!! 🙄
Are they dancing ????? Singing ?????? Are they preparing for their exams ????? Why can’t they do it in front of me – after all, I am their Mother ?????? I think, I’ll enjoy those stints too !!!!
Dear God, I pray for the doors (to my girls’ room) to open !!!!! 🙂
But God feels that is quite a difficult wish to grant me !!!! 🙄
Instead God grants me this wish – The doors to Heaven will be open for YOU, BUT I can’t open those Doors, to your Girls’ Room !!!!! 🙂 🙄
I guess that behind the doors to my daughters’ room lies my forbidden area !!!!!! 🙂 🙂
