making mamma a part of your "date" plans can backfire.. sure.. but it can NOT backfire as well! a fact i figured out myself, less than 24 hours back.. and much to my astonishment bordering on horror, she even went out of her way to make it more "perfect"! *my bag full of surprises mamma!*
and well, brownie points, if the "date" in question is equally (if not more) preferred and loved by her!
and so, it's all set.. Sunday morning at 10! my Red Room gets to witness my only Exception..
{ she: "are you planning only for coffee? you can go for lunch as well.. best, just give the order and
ask for the home delivery.. you have KFC as well.. how will you two have coffee? you can carry the
flask.. the new one.. and have as much coffee as you want/like.."
she: "well, your room is more or less set.. the curtains are also hanging.. so, you kids have fun tomorrow!"
me: "Mamma, its alright.. us meeting after so long is, in itself, a big deal.. we'll be alright.. we'll probably end up only talking.."
she: "haan thik hai.. karo baatein.. jo man kare.. all i'm saying, you can order and eat ghar pe baithke as well.. plus, thoda aur unpack bhi kar lena dono milke.. baat ka baat bhi ho jaega, date ka sath me time spend karna bhi, and room bhi set ho jaega!"
and i continue looking at her helplessly, with a smile on my face, as she goes about her chores..}
p.s. and yes.. it's proven, once again.. you ARE my ONLY Exception!
