This ones for Mum...

Whenever I m on my own...that means...whenever Mummu is less of a prankster...or sleeping...n she cuts me a slack...I flashback to the beginning of my pregnancy and remember all the things that mum had said...n so many things were really original...coming straight from her...n I haven't heard that from anyone else...
1. Mum asked me to buy myself a new plant...n take care of it...
I love plants...n I bought home an Aloe Vera plant that still stands beautifully...
Now I understood why...not a pet but a plant...
The beauty of her theory was, when ur happy n gay u will take care of the plant no matter what...u will water it n keep it in the sun or protect it from loads of rains...but when ur upset for days on end, wud u do the same n exactly with the same emotions like the time when u were happy???
I rmrb being upset for smallest of small reasons(all of which were wrong...but I was pregnant remember...n highly touchy too) n being upset for dayz on end...
Those were the days when I wudn't even bother to look at the plant let alone water it...Thankfully the plant didn't give up on me...
To cut a long story short...via the plant I learnt n important lesson...whether happy or sad...a parent should reflect with ONLY happiness/joy towards their baby
