Baby Boom or Boomerang
While I was waiting for my 5 toppings pizza to arrive at Pizza Hut last night, a couple with two kids probably aged six or seven made an entry. The kids and the couple sat on different tables. I thought it was because the adults needed some privacy, the lady escorting them happened to tell me they were actually escorting the kids on their date.
The kids were really cute and cuddly, kept playing with me by making faces and imitating everything exactly like I did. With no intentions of interrupting them on what probably was their first date I then turned my face away and got busy with my pizza and my husband.
I love children and childhood. I think it’s the most wonderful time of life. I was thinking of the wonderful experiences I have had with kids and the one that stands out is with my neighbour’s adorable daughter back home.
Once while baby sitting her, I asked her what her favourite animal was. Her answer really amused me, she said her favourite animal was a pig. In India the common pigs are the ugliest creatures, resembling obese rodents, feeding on sewage. So surprised, I asked her what did she like about them, she said they were pink and pretty. As it turned out her favourite cartoon character was Piglet from ‘Winnie The Pooh’ and she had never seen a real pig in her life. That is the innocence we sadly grow out of and can never get it back.
Kids apart from spreading fun, also cause great embarrassment. One of my cousins has the cutest baby boy and I took him into my arms and carried him around for a while. After an hour or so the cheeky kid had so skilfully unbuttoned half my shirt that I only realised it when he started playing with things he wasn’t supposed to!!!
Two of my close friends are expecting babies soon and have asked me to be god mothers for their babies. Delightful isn’t it?
By the way I asked my husband after Pizza Hut, if kids would continue be so much fun when they would actually be yours. As for the answer from him, the question never even got acknowledged and he chose to play a deaf ear. So far so good……

Great story. I have always loved this quote: "hildren are the living messages we send to a time we will not see." Don't recall who said it.
One of Radhika's friends who is expecting a baby and has asked her to be the god mother is ME ME ME!!!!!
@Don, what a beautiful thought and how beautifully put. Well don't worry about who said, I will give you the credit :-)for remembering it
@Rhea, Thanks Hun for being so sweet
Kids are sometimes a big pain to deal with but most of the time they are adorable. Their actions make you cry and laugh. My 2 year old neice stayed over at my home for a couple of months and trust me it is not easy to deal with a kid, but at the same time they are so adorable.
