ReplyDeletewill post the tag as soon as possible
I hate u for this! This is going to take up a chunk of my time. But I am going to attempt this nevertheless!
ReplyDeleteG-man: Yeah i cried for Taare Zameen Par too.
ReplyDeleteAnd hate is too mild a word for what i feel about cockroaches.
U knw the cockroaches here(once in a while they crawl in thru the drain), they stand up on all their legs & walk uuuurrrggghhhhh. I DETEST them. My husband for all his faults is a sweetheart here...as soon as he hears me scream, he comes immediately & finishes the bug. Yes, really even after 10 yrs of marriage;-P.
AND who doesnt like to get pocket-money;-P?
Sunshine: I got the tag from G-man. Actually I forgot to put that up in my post. And waiting to read urs:-)
Bins: Whats life without a bit of spice. so hate away:-P
then you'll love this little story of mine. one night, i decided to sleep on the floor, in the hallway of my house. i woke up to find a cockroach sitting on my chest and staring at me. there are various other instances of cockroaches finding me to be the perfect thing to perch on. well i flick them off me and then finish them off. i prefer giving them a gruesome death by a rolled up newspaper.
ReplyDeletei hate spiders though, i don't exactly mind the cockroaches that don't sit on me
phew! Done it! It was tough! :P
ReplyDeleteYou smell conspiracy? Poor kids... they don't know they have a mom who has done it all!!! hee hee...
G-man: Gosh G-man I wd have freaked. Brrrr....
ReplyDeleteI dont mind a snake even but not a cockroach. Spiders are not exactly in my favourites list but yeah i can swat them with a newspaper like how u do but cockroaches...I dont even try to kill them coz what if they escape & jump straight at me......
"Nancy shrieks & jumps out of the nearest window"
Wannabe: The kids already have me all figured out......so it is my necessity to stay alert
yea, well, i was freaked too. the cockroach looked bigger in the moonlight :| fortunately, my heart didn't give out on me :D
