25 minutes to go

nope not talking about the MLTR lyrics. (Though, on 2nd thoughts I have all but forgotten the lyrics, I should start listening to music) . Nothing to do with the song. Nothing to do with the number, but ya something to do with the time.

Mornings are such busy times, especially, when you have to catch the office bus, which seems to come a couple of minutes earlier, only when you are late.
Me, I always manage to leave the house at the nth hour, correction, nth SECONDS. Distance from home to the stop, about 2-3 kms. Time it takes to reach the stop, if you are a snail like me, then 45 mins of leisure walk or half an hour of fast walking(which includes few mins of leisure walking too), or 15 mins of jog(few mins of fast walking...and a whole load of splash of mirk on my outfit...ya its thanks to the muddy dirty road). The bus reaches the stop ideally by 8:02am give or take 3-4 mins. The ideal time to leave the house, one would say be 7:30 and what time do I leave???

Today I left the house at 7:45am. Yes, you heard me right, 7:45 am. If that was the time when I left the society it would still have been ok. And then I tried catching a rick, no luck. So I thought to myself, if I keep looking for easy options it wouldn't work, I challenged myself and sprinted (read - Jogged) away and guess wat??? the bus was on time 8:02 and I had reached a good 30 secs prior to that. Lucky Me. But then ofcourse thats ME!!!!

The hell...

Parents go thru ya...

20th Sept
Last weekend was very hectic, what with Su's cousin and her mum coming down to stay over for the night. I was happy in a way coz the cous and Mummu get along quite well (Cous is millions of lightyears elder to mummu, so don't get me wrong there). Mummu is totally smitten by the cous.
But yday a strange thing happened. Just when I was putting her to bed, mummu asked me:
Mummu : Mumma what is this?? (pointing at her belly)
Me : (these questions are tricky and sometimes I pause to see if she will selfanswer)What is what??
Mummu : look here na, what is this??
Me : Thats your tummy
Mummu : My belly. and Yes this is my belly button. Mumma when I become bbbbbbiiiiiiiiiggggggggg na one day, then baby will come in my tummy. Mumma when will baby come in my tummy???

Me stumped, no, wait, superstumped. I didn't know what to say. I thought it through and asked her "who told you that ?"
Mummu : Cous

Me stumped again. Who's the kid here??? Cous or mummu??? called up Cous threatened her (if u so much as breathe such things infront of my baby, all ur diamonds will belong to me and those 30-40 tolas of Gold you will hv to donate it to 'Mycharityfund')???
What should have I done (considering that I m so bad at taking suggestions)??
More than that, I was wondering, is it time already to talk about stuffs(birds n bees, no wait, about baby-birds and baby-bees)??? And who should I be having the talk with first the cous or mummu?? Should I discipline mummu??? For the time being, she wudn't utter this nonsense infront of me, but, I m sooooooo damn sure she will utter the same nonsense infront of Meme, and knowing Meme, by the time, I reach home(remember I have joined work so I leave at 7:30 in the morning and reach at 7:30 in the evening), I might find strawberries in place of meme's cheeks and meme rolling on the floor with laughter(God Knows what wud that do to Sunny???).
