Those telepathic conversations with mom...

Today a family friend of ours visited.. well, this family was my dad's old friend's family (they were room mates when they were bachelors) n it was great to see them after so many years.. Although i remember their names but i had forgotten their faces and was looking forward to meet this family..

Before their arrival, i had an arguement with mom over the no. of kids they had.. i was sure that it was more than one.. (c'mon, happy families comprise of 2 kids for sure!! n this was a happy family!) but mom was stubborn that they had only one son.. As a part of tamil tradition, we should gift each member of the family when they visit your house for the first time with their family.. n mom purchased for the 3 of them.. what happened later is another story.. but i won the bet.. they had an eight year old daughter too :) :) n that's when i had a victorious grin across my face when this cute girl stepped out off the car!! Now here i had this telepathic conversation with mom-(" See i told you he is not going to use it the second time he did it!! n here is the result, the small girl hopping towards you!!! ;) ) n mom answered back telepathically ( "hmmpfff..well, i thought that he was not dumb like your father, but i guess they are the same birds that flock together!!) n she turned her face to recieve the guests with the broadest smile..

the kids were totally exhausted after their travel and the girl just couldn't resist but lie down flat on the soft, cushiony bed in the hall.. n that's where me n mom noticed the telepathic convy b/w the girl n her mom.. She lied back n looked at her mom...n her mom says it- (" how many times have i told you to behave when we go to someone's house..now get up..") n there went her eyebrow from flat to a mountain shaped structure and the eyes popping out of the socket!! the girl replies with a pleasing expression & crescent shaped eyes with head touching the shoulders, ( " pleaeaease mom.. the car gave me so many bumps.. pls.. just one time.. i will get up in 5 minutes!!) n her mom replies with her flaring nose n gritting teeth which made the girl jump up and sit straight..

Now my goody-two-shoes mom understands these things .. had she understood it when i was 8, i would have been a spoilt brat by now.. she goes to the girl and tries to be friends with her n makes her feel comfortable.. the girl lies down back with a smile across her face, still the eyes questioning mom on what to do..n her mom tilts her head to convey the msg-("ok you can lie down now!!)

trust me, only moms have this ability of telepathy and they induce it in us.. i remember going to a friends house with mom and they served us Lays chips.. being a piggy mouth, i couldnt resist but pick the chips.. that's the first telepathic conversation i had with mom.. At first i didnot look at her, but then she pinched me and i saw her eyes..oh mann, they were out of the socket and i thought she will eat me raw if i ate that.. again, the teeth were gritted and i placed that back on plate with all my fear..i had goosebumps without knowing what goosebumps were!!! n the next instant, she calmed down with her back relaxed & eyes in their normal place..

I still wonder how many mom's have such conversation with kids?? and how many suceed in understanding those things.. At the end of the day when they were leaving, i wanted to see what mom would do.. She gave pant-shirt piece to the the father and their son, a salwar suit to the mom.. n for the girl... she gave another salwar suit piece.. i forgot that mom has a godown full of salwa stocks!!.. n she looked at me to say-(" i still dint loose it baby..afterall i am your mother " n winks ;) ) with a wicked smile she turned around to bid adieu to the guests.. n i sighed, "all is well that ends well!!"

We had so many telepathic conversations, like

Me: mom, for christs sake, what colour is she wearing!!

Mom: She belongs to your fathers side.. no wonder it runs in their blood!!

Me: (a nod) yeah yeah.. (with a forced smile towards the relative!)

n then while buying a fancy mp3 palyer, ( the shopkeeper had brain washed me in picking that piece)

Mom: ( nodding in denial) dont pick that.. you will regret!

Me: Oh pls mom, you dont know how trendy it is.. i like it..

Mom: (shrugs) your wish..

the player did not last for more than a week!!!!

n no wonder mom also penetrates my mind like Severus snape did to Harry potter..

Mom: did you kiss a girl???

Me: $#@&!!*(!!!! :o
