The new gal on the block

I was just hanging out at my Didi's place the other day, and that too in the middle of the afternoon.
(Oh okay ..... fine .... all right ..... like most die-hard Puneites, I too like to have my mid-day siesta from time to time, and what better time to enjoy this, than after a good home-made lunch :-))

Neways, so I was just hanging out. Other people at home were also chilling around .... Didi was getting her nails done ...... Ishaan doing his Spiderman bit .... Shree making tea :-p ....... Ira also doing her bit (as much as a 1 year old can). Suddenly, out of the blue, Ira shifts her attention to her mom (Didi), or more precisely, to what her mom is doing. Now how much can a year old "woman" understand, about doing one's nails ??? But there was that spark in her eye!

What she did after that, was totally unexpected by any one of us, who'd been around her for the past 12 months. She crawled (with her sinister one legged crawl) towards her mom, perched herself on her legs, and stared intently. Then she gets up again, crawls towards her chair (the one she uses as a crawler) and gets it back to where her mom is sitting. She pulls herself up onto the chair, and ................ starts wailing :\

I had absolutely no idea as to what this drama was going to end in, but Didi, being the excellent mom (really) that she is, as well as a woman herself :-p realised what her daughter meant, and she herself very willingly gave up what she had been upto, and ended up doing this.

Now this is what I mean, when I say that the generation after ours, know their stuff well ....... and also know how to get the job done :-)
