I've been lying low…
…because of exams.
FINAL EXAMS.
But that doesn't mean I don’t have news to share.
Lots of news actually.
Now that’s funny isn't it, because I sit at home the whole
day and look forward to the return of the better-half from work because I’m
eager to know whats going on outside my well.
What well????
You know…frog….. in the well……yup, that 'well'.
So as soon as he comes back from work, I ask brightly “How was work??”
I get a world-weary look for my efforts.
‘That bad’ I sympathize.
‘Good.’ comes a mumbled response.
I try another track.
‘You are late???’ I gently insert into the silence.
No answer.
‘Traffic???’ I probe further.
No answer.
‘TRAFFIC’ I’m now determined to get a response.
‘No’
I give up and march back to the….to the comfort zone I was in before he came.
His head and world weary tiredness miraculously clears[I’m assuming it cleared because he hastily follows me into the kitchen]
Now the shoe is on the other foot.
I'm attacking a pan with a scrub and detergent.
“My day was good….
....good…..
......goooood....
.....and no traffic” The better-half offers expansively hoping not to sound like he is trying to get into my good books.
The silence is thick.
‘How was your day???’ He asks tentatively.
I look sharply at him trying to gauge his sincerity.
He looks adequately penitent and is very interested in my
answer.
I decide to forgive him.
I then launch into the details of the interesting day I had.
Now this is precisely what I don’t understand….how is it
possible that I who stay at home, have so much to say but the better-half who goes out
into the world, meets so many people, has nothing much to
relate at the end of the day.
Good, good, goood my aaaa…….erm my kidneys.
Anyways had started this post with all the stuff I wanted to
share but got side-tracked.
The originally intended post coming soon as it's ready.
I soooo like to act like all of you are waiting with bated breath for my posts.
Do spare a thought for me when you pray, I need all the help I can get for the Hindi exam.
The kids....oh they are good.....gooood....so good that it doesn't at all seem like they are in the midst of their FINAL exams.
I'll stop here before I lose it completely.

DeleteYesss Sir;-D.
I think ppl need to wait at least for 30 minutes after their husband comes back from office, before asking/talking anything with them. They are so tired during the first 30 minutes but ppl have so much to tell so much only during this period...?
ReplyDeleteDestination Infinity
Now here's some expert advice I'll take heed of. I just hope the H won't think I'm ignoring him;-P
DeleteYou seem to be losing your cool over final exams than the kids themselves. :D Take a chill pill Nancy..I am saying this because my son is in daycare and there are no final exams there. Even on a normal day I panic. So I have all rights to advice you to take a chill pill u know? Years from now I can imagine myself talking to a therapist while my son sits in the exam hall happy and carefree .
ReplyDeleteNononooo Anita, u got it the other way around...the guilt in this case is all abt me;-P.
DeleteAnyways exams over today...yaaahhhhooooo;-D
