TO has learnt the art of being an utter smartass and sneaks it into conversations with a smoothness that by turns annoys me and also makes me laugh. A little while ago, we were doing a round of Q&A about his upcoming swim theory exams and one of the questions was about what to do … Continue reading Smartalecky Sunday Bloglet

Pool Time Tales
I had completely forgotten what it was like to take a 5-year-old swimming. But, as it is with all things related to kids, it all comes back to you with a bang! TO has always been fairly independent when it comes to things he likes to do. He shucked his floaties quickly and was frolicking … Continue reading Pool Time Tales
The Mother’s Day Brouhaha
My family lived in the US briefly, many years ago. Prior to that life was smaller in many ways. There were no 75 channels on tv and there certainly was no Mother's Day, Father's Day, Presidents Day and what have you. We had Children's Day where we most certainly did not get to escape from … Continue reading The Mother’s Day Brouhaha
Eye Roll Blog Post#2
The car mats have got pretty dirty and I wanted to wash them out before we stepped out next. It's a simple task actually...use a hand shower or a forceful spray to get the initial layer of dirt and dust off, sprinkle a bit of detergent on the mats, let them soak for a few … Continue reading Eye Roll Blog Post#2
Eye Roll Blog Post#1
My kid's school suddenly announced an earlier closure to the school year due to rising temperatures yesterday. When TO found out about it, the joyous whoop he let out probably was audible a few blocks over. So this is Day One of summer break 2022 and Mr.Zombie-During-School-Days got up on his own before 6 am, … Continue reading Eye Roll Blog Post#1
The Dementia Diagnosis
One of Red's cousins will be visiting us soon and I was telling TO about him. He'll be meeting a brand new set of cousins and an aunt he's not seen before so I was trying to give him some background while we set out for errands this morning. This uncle of his is a … Continue reading The Dementia Diagnosis
Accurate But Politically Incorrect
TO is learning about genetics and most things associated with them. I'm ashamed to say that barring being familiar with terms, I can't recollect the definition without looking it up and most times I look them up with a keywords "for dummies" because they have the easiest definitions to understand. Unless I understand them properly, … Continue reading Accurate But Politically Incorrect
Conversations Over A Hot Stove
A little while ago when I was in the middle of cooking the chicken curry for today's lunch, TO came to get a hug. Now a hot and sweaty person usually runs as far away from being held as possible. Especially more so when she's doing the taste checks for a new recipe she decided … Continue reading Conversations Over A Hot Stove
Reunited…
Once there was a little necklace. It was very happy and bright. It had rounded beads and was liked by everyone who saw it. It was a very happy little necklace indeed! One day came the Little Grabby Fingered Imp. The Imp grabbed and pulled the necklace towards himself but the necklace didn't want to … Continue reading Reunited…
