Upcoming birthday

The boy was eating yogurt and to prevent it from spilling on his t-shirt, I made a bib out of a handkerchief and tucked it around his neck. I feel I am in a barber shop!

The boy’s birthday is coming up and we were scouting for places to have his birthday party. We checked out PlayGym. The boy loved it. They also have a separate area for the birthday party and gave contacts of children’s birthday food suppliers. The loo was clean and they had an electric balloon inflator.

Back home, the boy made a big ruckus to go Ah’s house. And then when he called his aunt “silly idiot” the wife gave him a serious talk and hit him on his leg. He cried nonstop for nearly an hour. He put so much effort into his crying that the nerves at the side of his neck stood out. We asked him to stop crying.

The wife  to the boy, “If you cry like this how will be proud of you?”
The boy, in between sobs, “Are you proud of me?”
The wife, “Why should we be proud of you?”
The boy, “Because, you should be proud of me”

Finally he stopped.
