After watching three CUTEST puppies being rescued from the Italian avalanche I couldnt control myself
I was reminded of James & Chuck
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Murukku Madness
II was prepping to head out to watch the twins perform at their school
Sahana slept in a makeshift playpen in the kitchen
II fried the last batch of murukku in oil
Her hair tied in a high knot, her pallu tucked safely on her waist
One of the twins, Vedu sat under the kitchen dining table trying to read a book
Both had gotten hair cuts this morning.
Nivi was as usual upstairs
Sid came down crying
"Amma mimika SUT the doh" he had a blood curdling scream accompany his complaint
Sahana sat up in her playpen and rubbed her eyes
The curls falling all over her face
The puppies that were snoozing by her playpen barked and circled her playpen, panting, urging her to get out
The boys were no fun today, Ved was sniffling with a cold coming on
Sid was generally crabby
II turned her stove to simmer down and ran out to the grand stair case
"Who opened the gate?" She was terrified
Sid had rolled off the back kitchen spiral staircase, atleast 8 steps two weeks ago
"Ammmaaa Mimika SUT THE DOH" he shouted
"Ondee ma... shhh shhh" she cradled the fat boy in her arms, sliding the custom gate open
Sahana was a devil, she screamed from her playpen, standing up, the dogs went on their hind legs and kissed her face
"Oh we love u so much. Can u get out? Do u want us to chew the nylon and rescue u from the human?"
Sahana became distracted and started playing with them
Sneezed as the dogs' whiskers tickled her nose
"Niveee" Ii shouted
R&B and Nivi peeked from their floors
Nivi much later than her dad, only after II screamed her name 5 times
"Nee gate tarandu poteya?" (did u leave the child gate unlocked on top of the stairs?" II was furious
"He put his hand imprint all over my walls, I am not BABY Amma" she was horrified
"Keezha vaa nee first" II ordered
She cud hear Nivi's "Tchhh" and the look she gave her Dad
"Can u get me out of this? Ur wife is having a meltdown"
"Did u leave the gate open Nivi?" he asked grimly
"Sheesh" Nivi mocked
"Go down please" he said softly
James: I managed to tear a hole here"
He scampered around a worn side of the playpen
Sahana stuck her leg out and it STUCK
Chuck :Want me to tip this over? Huh? Huh?" Huh? I cud do it... I wud, but u got to promise us u wont pick us up by our ear "
James "Or TAIL or TAIL..
"Chuck: Yep!
Sahana was trying to yank her foot out, and shouted angrily
Vedu crawled like a baby and went near the playpen and lay on his belly, face held in his palms, legs dancing back and forth watched the spectacle of the dogs tearing up the play pen
The dogs pushed it along with Sahana the playpen slowly began to move
"I CAM HOD IT" (I can hold it) he promised the dogs and sister
"DAYDOO.. DAYDOO" Sahana cooed for Vedu flailing her arms hoping he will pick her up
"Amma baby is THUCK... Amma baby is THUCK" he said firmly
Got up and went to the kitchen and started opening all teh drawers
Nivi came down feeling the end of her looong braid
"He fell last week di" Ii was pleading with her oldest
Sid whimpered and lay on her shoulder
"Amma HUNDRED times he knocked on my door"
"where is thatha?" II asked worried abt Ranjan
"He went to sleep, he said I shud watch him" Nivi was whining
"Nivi ENOUGH" II warned
"He banged my door, put handprints all over, avana onnume solla mateya?" (the boy doesnt get any scolding?) Nivi began to cry
"Hes NOT EVEN 5" II sat down on the second step, and held Nivi's hand "Come sit"
"U dont like me any more, I get so much beat up Amma" she sniffled
"U have three lil babies raja" II begged
R&B was stepping down
"II hand me Sid" he offered
Sid went to him "I mant to go to Dadooo" he said
"Hes taking a nap, want to go up with me?" he offered
"Two days ago, he pulled the power cord on my phone so bad, the pin got bent, its mine and he broke it" Nivi cried
"Listen" II begged
"They want everything thats mine MY EMAIL MY TEXTS MY PHONE MY LIP GLOSS" Nivi was merciless
"Nivi" R&B was leaning on the rail
"I weared Mimika wipthick" Sid supplied unnecessary info
"Paaru, he again wore the caramel tasting one" "Ewww I can never wear it again, Manya athai sent it ONLY for ME" Nivi was sobbing
"Nivi, come lets go up" R&B offered
"NOT when u are carrying THAT" Nivi said upset
R&B froze...
Nivi looked apologetic and afraid
"Mimika DUST needs a BWAKE" Sid explained
Something clattered in the kitchen
II inhaled "Ayyo I burned the last batch of murukku" she panicked
"Why cant we get it from the store II" R&B panicked afraid there was burning oil and two of his rowdies loose some where in the vicinity
II sprinted followed by a Sid carrying R&B
"I wanted to eat" "Poruma.?" II was upset
"Ask someone to make it for u" he begged angrily
"VEDANTTT" II shouted, he held a butter knife in his hand
II got it off his hand
The dogs and Sahana were eating, there were crumbs all over the playpen
"What happened to her leg?" R&b asked
"Ayyoyo I dont know she woke up and screamed" Ii informed
"Amma bay THUCK... I COT baby's leg" Ved said all knowingly
"Ada Paavi, ada kudu da" (Gimme the knife) II grabbed and slammed the drawer shut enabling the child lock on all
R&B rescued the lil monster
They all sat on the kitchen floor... II brought them the jaggery syrup dipped, and plain salted ones
The dogs ate Sahana's and II dragged their bowls of food from the wall by the backyard, sliding glass doors, James pushed his bowl towards Sahana in an attempt to share
"U humans I tell u. Its a consipracy, u feed us this chalky shit and eat fried snacks?" Chuck barked
"Va" Nivi reached for Vedu smiling quietly
Vedu was elated, he sat on her godee
"They love u angel" R&B kissed teh top of Nivi's head
"I love them too daddy, but they cant come into my room"
R&B chuckled
"NO BOYS" Nivi said primly
"Amen!" R&B nodded happily
