Happy Birthday MAMA!

 

My Mother taught me LOGIC…”If you fall off that swing and break your neck, you can’t go to the store with me.”

My Mother taught me MEDICINE…”If you don’t stop crossing your eyes, they’re going to freeze that way.”

My Mother taught me TO THINK AHEAD…”If you don’t pass your spelling test, you’ll never get a good job!”

My Mother taught me ESP…”Put your sweater on; don’t you think that I know when you’re cold?”

My Mother taught me TO MEET A CHALLENGE…”What were you thinking? Answer me when I talk to you…Don’t talk back to me!”

My Mother taught me HUMOR…”When that lawn mower cuts off your toes, don’t come running to me.”

My Mother taught me how to BECOME AN ADULT…”If you don’t eat your vegetables, you’ll never grow up.

My mother taught me ABOUT SEX…”How do you think you got here?”

My mother taught me about GENETICS…”You are just like your father!”

My mother taught me about my ROOTS…”Do you think you were born in a barn?”

My mother taught me about the WISDOM of AGE…”When you get to be my age, you will understand.”

My mother taught me about ANTICIPATION…”Just wait until your father gets home.”

My mother taught me about RECEIVING…”You are going to get it when we get home.”

And, my all-time favorite – JUSTICE…”One day you’ll have kids, and I hope they turn out just like YOU — then you’ll see what it’s like.”

30 days of me – Day 4 – Bestfriend schmestfriend!

Today’s challenge is to put up my favorite picture of my ‘best’ friend. I dont believe in best friends because i somehow think as humans we all have our flaws and no one will ever really not judge you or at any given point know that they will ALWAYS out your needs before theirs in a crisis.

I have close friends, confidants, oldest friends but i consciously choose NOT to have a best friend.

Not when i have one that loves me and accepts me by default. Not when all the world is walking out on me and this one is showing the finger. Who needs a best friend when i have one who knows all my secrets even when i dont tell them. Who knows my thoughts and feelings before i even think or feel them.

Why go through years of fighting and making up and getting to know each other inside out when you have someone who’s been with you from birth?

My best friend. My only friend. Ma.

My mommy bestest!

My mom was here in Bombay for two weeks and i took the opportunity to get her onto the podcast. And it was a B.L.A.S.T!

Not many mothers are as easy to talk to about certain topics, thankfully for my mom – anything goes!
