All is fair in love and war!

Day & Time: 27 Jan 2010, around 8PM

Mama,Papa and Namnam are heading back after a nice short drive to a nearby mart.

Namnam: Papa,can you put the ‘train song’ please? I want to hear the ‘train song’.

Mama: Not now,Namnam, we’re about to reach home. You can hear it tomorrow,Ok?

Papa, grabbing this opportunity to rise in his daughter’s expectations, takes out the CD and plays the song.

Needless to say, Namnam shrieks with joy.

And to cash in on the situation even further, Papa asks, ‘Namnam, who do you love more-Mama or Papa?’

Namnam doesnt even take a second to reply,‘ Papa’.

Papa shoots an evil glance(which can be misconstrued as an I-am-innocent smile) at Mama through the rear-view mirror.

Mama shoots back with a wait-till-I-get-a-revenge smile.

Day & Time: 28 Jan 2010, 930AM… real time update.

Mama has baked Namnam’s favorite chocolate cake which she cant wait to serve her when she gets back from school.

Oh, and yes, she cant wait to know what the reply will be when she asks her li’l one, ‘ Namnam who do you love more-Mama or Papa?’

She knows what the answer will be.

And she breaks into an evil laugh…. ‘Papa, I declare war.’ πŸ‘Ώ πŸ‘Ώ πŸ‘Ώ

PS: In case you all are wondering which is the train song, here it is

  3. Lol, sweet post. Personally the ‘who do you love more’ was a question banned in my household. Even if that question was asked by extended family or relatives to my kids, it was countered with a firm answer ‘both’ from me. πŸ™‚

    D: I think I’ll have to bring about the same rule in my household too,Shail πŸ˜€ . By the look of it Namnam doesnt seem to be saying what I want to hear πŸ˜†

  12. Hi friends,I served Namnam her favorite cake and she did say I love you sooooo much,Mama! The truth is I didnt have the heart to ask the question who she loved more and put her in a dilemma again.

    For now let her pick her Papa and I’ll take solace in the fact that girls always have an extra special connection with their fathers. I know the special bond I share with my father. So I just let her be.

    The weekend has set in and I’ll be offline till saturday.I’ll be back to reply to each one of you on the other side.

    Have a great day πŸ™‚

    This is an impossible question to answer, I am not surprised the answer changes depending on the bribe, err the moment… I wonder if there is one set of parents in this world who hasn’t asked their kids this question πŸ˜†

    1. IHM, you seem to have missed my comment. This question has never been asked by either my husband or I to our kids. And when others asked, either of us stepped in to say ‘both’! I have been left fuming when some people even make suggestions as to whom the child likes. I don’t agree with this point being raised with kids. But then I am from Neptune! πŸ˜‰
