Kids can be so UNCERTAIN

Each mother dreams that her kids are the best in the world. All mother’s day and night work to hone the best out of their kids.

We all look into their mannerism, the way they communicate with others and you, the way they carry themselves. All the mother’s try to give them best of everything so that when their little ones step into the outside world they render the best of behaviour. Don’t we mother spend all most all day correcting our kids. Telling them how to be humble and gentle with everyone.

That’s what I also do as a mother. I feel very good when my kids display the best of behaviour at home and outside. I feel like a good mother when my kids say pleasing words like “thankyou”, “sorry”, “please” …. I am at the top of the world when my elder one tells the younger one that you need to be kind to everyone. She tells him” that’s a rude word you have used and you must apologise”. And in return to this one my younger one at times listen to her and says” okaaaay! I am sorry”. Though I must mention there are days that are complete opposite of such moments. And as all of us face I do face those moments when they are not ready to listen to each other or me.

Well my younger one is very particular about so many thing. The moment I forget to say thank you, he will immediately correct me “You have to say thank you to me. My teachers at preschool say it’s good to say thank you.” Yes I do say sorry and thank you after that.

My younger one loves to say hello to everyone he meets on his way. He will then ask me” Is that good to say hello to everyone?” With a smile I always tell him “Yes, I am proud of you for greeting everyone nicely.”

But there are moments when your kids leave you by surprise. How do you react when your kid calls an old gentleman coming towards you as a “ZOMBIE”? What?.... I had no place to look or hide myself.

And when you tell him “No dear that’s rude. He is an old uncle” He becomes even more modest to justify himself and says “No mum. Look there! He is a zombie” and that to louder than before. I had no words in my mouth. I felt like getting under those mangoes that I was buying.

Well there are people whom you find are experienced and kind enough to understand that kids will be kids. The gentleman walked towards my little boy and asked “What have I done?” My little one is still sure “You are a zombie.” Though I was able to convince my boy and he nicely apologised and asked him “Hello! How are you UNCLE?”

Well there are moments in every mother’s life where the kid who display the best behaviour turns out as a surprise package for you. Though we love them for these small little cheekiness. We want them to be naughty and give them every chance to be themselves. I guess what is coming our way as a mother is always unexpected. But that doesn’t mean mother’s be harsh with kids just to show the world that my kids are the most mannered one around. We have learnt from our experiences and so will they learn.

Just let your kids grow into a beautiful flowers as nature has made them like. Just water them to hone them. Because what’s coming your way is a surprise…could be a “beautiful ,loving ZOMBIE”
