Sustainable Parenting
For Shru
I always get confused on the count of kids
Lets say twin boys and two girls (like last time, we can begin with Maanvi)
Maanvi, like our cutie is a perfect child
The twins in or second, one is studious the other a brat
The youngest is two, she loves her Daddy and wants nobody else
(Umm.. well acc to II he can have HER)
II is on the computer researching for a paper Maanvi has to write, bookmarking websites
collating data from search engines so she can print as much as possible in one go tonight, highlight reading through it so Maanvi can take notes
The topic?
What is sustainable development
Ranjan was helping Maanvi organize her print outs from last week
She was afarid and nervous the project was due in a week and she was still not satisfied with the material collection
"Porum kanna u have SO MUCH, thatha has three binders worth" Ii was frustrated
"Amma I cant state the obvious" "U know how school projects are, I want a poster board, no not the kind we can get at Malviya Nagar" Maanvi was being bratty
"NIVI" Ii scolded
"Amma it bends on the edges like the "do all living organisms contain water?" experiment from 5th standard" she was teary eyed
Ii hugged her
"Azhaade raja"
"Dad u want to save her bookmarks from today in a new folder, I am going to drag those two in and make them sit down"
Ranjan chuckled
"U dont trust me do u?" she asked pained
"Arey nahi puttar, tujhe 100% trust karanga, tere miya nu ik wi nahi" Ranjan burst out laughing
"The help left early today, Sahana has been upstairs the whole time... main usko lekar aaoon to aap pakad lenge"
"Jaroor layin puttar"
He NODDED to everything she said, agreed to her all the time
He LOVED the chaos in the house the mess her boys made, he had a pair of glasses in every room, every floor now
He had 3 phone numbers, a device hidden in every floor...
He was constantly on "crisis management mode"
His daughter in law was patient and kind and quiet... NOT
She ran all day like a chicken with her head cut off
She dragged the boys up
(AYYO I forgot the names)
"thatha... he broke the limb of the blueberry plant" one tattled on the other
"Koi gall nahi mere raje" he cooed
They both jumped on him sending a fat wad of Maanvi's sheets sliding down his lap, spreading all over the floor
100s of pages
She began to cry
II "Dad PLEASE inko yaha se lekar jao aap. Iru da... I am going to tie u both up tonight in separate rooms" she warned
"Sam ke lekar jaaon betaji?" he begged
"NAHI BILQUL nahi... oopar zara apne bete ko awaz lagayen" she oredere
"Intercom mein bula le" he smiled
"This room doesnt workI used it so many times, its sick of me"
Maanvi was still crying, the boys wrestled on the floor, both tall with lots of hair and big eyes like her😳
Skinny and tall... took them an hour to finish a meal😆
"Main paper jamata hoon tu ja oopar" he ordered
She hugged Maanvi
"Amma thatha spent two hours organizing it ins sections I didnt even put a post it marker on them" she sobbedðŸ˜
"Azhaade kanna" she begged
She went up
R&B sprawled on his office couch, lil Sahana playing with his Beats head phone... he was showing her how to CHEW on them
He sat up starled when he saw Maanvi crying
"What happened?" he asked panicking
"The two devils pushed Dad and ella paperum kezha tallitta (pushe dit all)" II let herself break down
He gathered Maanvi
"Ammma" Sahana jumped up from her arms
"What were we thinking da... we are crazy, we need to donate the boys"
He exploded into laughter
There was a loud noise and a thud and big screams from downstairs
"I bet they killed Dad" Ii got up worried
Running down
Came back up 10 mins later with the naughtier one.
Maanvi was quiet cuddling with her Dad
Sahana dozing
"Ivana pidi... he got -3 in Math, HOW CAN ONE GET MINUS THREE?" She asked baffled
"Did u?" R&B asked calmly
"Well she said its not zero because the writing is so terrible I owe her 3 marks from my next test" he scoffed
R&B chuckled, unable to keep a straight face
"Do u owe her more than three?" he asked
"Enna velayadreya, if he borrows from future tests then his final exam report card will say "50 marks on loan from 3rd standard"
"can we do that?" the tyke asked her sincerely... with a relaxed look on his face
"Did u mess with Nivi's stuff?" he asked sternly
"Appa... Thatha asked me to hug him and HE DROPPED EVERYTHING"
R&B looked at II like "See its my DAD'S fault"
"Onnai iva rendu pera moonu perayum keezha talli vittuduven, DO NOT MESS WITH ME" Ii warned (I will push u and the boys down)
"Will u help me sort my papers?" Maanvi asked
Still in her purple pattu pavadai, she went to paati's for Aadi/monsoon? Friday
"U look pretty" he told her softly
"Thanks pa... Amma wont let me stay at Patti's" she tattled
"Why not II?" he pleaded
"There are rules da"
"can I go down, thatha is making root beer floats"
"I will float you in beer... nothing for u... wash ur hands and feet go say the shlokas and SIT DOWN"
Ammmaaa" he shouted
Sahana woke up starled and began to wail
