‘Not another bite dear. It’s not good for your health’
‘Last bite, promise’
That’s how my mom and dad argued over sweets. Dad has a sweet tooth and he doesn’t realize when he has to stop and that is where mother comes in the picture.
For the last few days, mother has been wary of something. When I ask her the reason, she tells me about dad’s indifferent reaction towards the sweets.
But that is a good sign, I wonder. And that is what she’s always wanted!
‘Mom, good he’s conscious of his health’
‘You know nothing. Something is going on’
‘But he never eats outside. Even if he will, he’ll first tell you’
Days passed and her suspicion faded away.
Until one day when mother, she decided to organize dad’s wardrobe and discovered chunks of Sohan Halwa, hidden in the recluse corner!

Cheers

ReplyDeleteLol..!! Yes, he risked himself by doing so!
DeleteCheers

ReplyDeleteThis incident just proves that Moms are always right and they know it all!
Had a good chuckle as I read it. Super take on the prompt, and writing! Mazza aa gaya!
Haha.. I'll sure try to. And nobody can compete with moms! Thank you so much! You made my day :)

Ha ha ha...that's the case with my man. Difficult it is to keep him away from sweets.
ReplyDeleteKeep an eye on him and his wardrobe as well :P
DeleteCheers
That reminded me of my dad. He loved sweets.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it made you think of your dad!
DeleteCheers
Ha ha ha.. mums know everything! And I love Sohan Halwa. We don't get it in this part of the country so when my parents travel they always carry some for me. It's so full of ghee though!
ReplyDeleteWhere do you stay? Let me know when you travel this side, I'll sure get you one!
DeleteCheers
Haah funny cute one :) My dad has a sweet tooth too and mum hides it all esp at night, coz after his drink he will wipe off whatever sweet he sees entirely ;) When I make any sweet dish and he gets to taste it he is never happy coz I use v less sugar :D
ReplyDeleteHehe.. That's the alternate my mom uses. She puts less sugar in everything! What to do?!
DeleteCheers
There's a kid in each adult, yea!!
ReplyDeleteANd that kid should always be kept alive!
DeleteCheers
Hahaha! Things one has to do to have peace at home!! :)
ReplyDeleteLol! So very true.
DeleteCheers
Aha! It was a win win situation for both. Dad could eat his sweets in silence, and mom could practice her meditation in peace :D
ReplyDeleteLol! Well said Mithila. But not for long. Mom found out!
DeleteCheers
