"Amma Can we get a dog"
So many people talking about what it would be like after kids are born
Here is a back to the foochar part
"amma can we get a dogg PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE" the talkative one roared
They shot stuff at the baby from across the kitchen, from a home made catapult, blue berries and fruit loops, when it struck her she roared in laughter
"No no no no no" "I have 4 pets" II chuckled
She made pancake for one of the twins, the quiet Rakshasan like one, that was full of mischief ALWAYS getting into trouble
The other talkative one was no less as far as trouble goes but he was a showman, always talking, always prepping for a "show"
Nivi was quiet, and dainty and composed
the youngest, was fat, messy and unhappy that she wasnt as quick as her brothers
Her sister didnt excite her as much as her brothers did
She didnt want to sit in her high chair at 14 months she wanted to sit by herself at the kitchen table
Wanted to eat by herself, her brothers flung blue berries on her the
ones that caught in her curly locks stayed there, until she found, SQUISHED AND SUCKED ON HER HAIR
There was JELLY everywhere... table, chair, the floor
Toast crumbs all over the floor...
"Amma WHY cant we get a dog?" the talkative one pulled on her skinny tee
"IVE SAID NO A MILLION TIMES"
"Thatha says we can get one" he argued
"well thatha is wrong"
"Can u go call him kanna?" she begged
"Only if u say we can get a dog"
"If we get a dog one of u will have to go live with another family"
"Lets send the baby" he said, he had it all worked out😈
"ADA PAAVI WHAT DID SHE EVER DO TO U"
The quiet twin was entertaining her... she laughed heartily her whole body shook she grit her teeth trying to reach her brother across the table
"Po kanna, tell ur Dad AND Thatha"
"U NEVER made me square dosa" he complained, leaning on her whining
They all looked adorable, II just wanted them all over her bed and to lay there have them mush her up
Nivi sat in the kitchen balcony on the floor leaning on the rail, writing
Her hair as long as II's silky and tangled locks all over her face, every few minutes she turned to stare at "II's pigeons"
And just wrote quietly
"LOOK AT NIVI KA, she is so quiet, do u even see her or hear her"
"Reading and writing are boring Amma" the one that cuddled whined on her belly
"If u stand between the stove and Amma how will she make ur square dosa raja" "Go get ur Dad" she ordered
It was a cool "morning" Ranjan got the kids during weekends and vacations, R&B "got his wife"
He wouldnt let her get off bed, they cuddled made love, chatted.. worried about the kids, she lamented how naughty they were and WHY she couldnt make "chamathu kuttis" (obedient ones)
He laughed and blew off her concerns as usual
It was almost Noon, Ranjan read newspaper and R&B was either in his office or wandering the bedroom on the phone with the French guys
The house was a mess, NOT prepped to handle FOUR MONSTERS three actually
She wouldnt let R&B buy another bigger one, she wouldnt even let him buy another one on the same floor
there was books toys, paper airplanes, hot wheel cars every where
Sahana ate whatever she could touch
A bowl filled with fruit loops and milk and orange peels went crashing to the floor
Sahana started crying out loud
R&B and Ranjan came running
R&B rescued his last fat creation
The quiet naught one clung to his thatha
"WHAT DID U DO?"
II's dosa was burning on the tava
"Amma" he mumbled
"Koi nahi raje, aidar aa" Ranjan dragged the lil guy, lifting him
The boys were tall and skinny like R&B
"I am calling u guys the last 20 minutes, nobody wants to eat or what? ITS NOON" II shrieked
"II noticed another bowl of milk with a orange peel boat with fruit loops and blue berries floating in it
"Why are u wasting milk da?" "Who will drink orange peel flavored milk?" II yelled
"Dont feed the baby fruit loops its nothing but chemicals and sugar, she is already pumped up on both" II mopped the floor furiously
The lil fat one WANTED trouble... she reached for a wine bottle on the breakfast counter,
from last night, closed with a cork, the men forgot to set it in the lil apartment cellar
And tipped it, the cork came loose the bottle spun on the counter like spin the bottle game...and red wine dripped all over
The one that was clinging to her brought two of his superheroes from the dining table and made an imaginary fight under the "blood rain"
"DAD TAKE THESE TWO OUT"
She turned the gas off
"Thatha... can we go to Louvre again?" Nivi asked softly
Ranjan walked over to her, carrying the naughty twin
"aidar kis waaste baithi hai gudiya?"
"Thatha I am writing about my trip" she said quietly
"Kha baithi nashta?"
She nodded cutely... her clothes and jewelry not matching, she wore gold jhumkas and sweats, a tiny red bindi left over from last night
"Kya khaaya" he asked
"A toast with almond butter, a bowl of cereal a orange and a glass of milk" she counted
The naughty one "ammma u never gave me almond butter
"I am not giving u two ANYTHING
She dragged the talkative twin by his sleeve
Shoved him at R&B "Take him out of here" "OR CLEAN"
Sahana reached for the superhero in his hand
"There is no Mahavir FYI" II snapped
"II relax, I will call the cleaning lady"
He hugged Sahana"
"HE IS MAKING BOATS with orange peels, there is blue berries all over her hair, she was the enemy spy, they shot blue berries at her, paar talaya" (look at her hair)😭
Purple goo dripped from places😆
He wouldnt allow mundan for this one at the 1st Bday... Sahana's hair was like a model's... thick, silky and springy curls
"Give her a bath, tie the boys up" "I am taking Nivi to Louvre" she ranted wearily
She sat on the new sofa/bed in the bedroom
They bought it when the kid count reached 4
Ranjan appeared a few minutes later with Nivi and the terror twin, bearing two trays
It had toasts and milk and cereal and spread
"Kha gudiya" he ordered
She reached for Sahana
She turned away laying on her Daddy's shoulder
"Podi!!" II cursed her "Thats why I MADE TWO of each gender" she said smugly, cuddling a shy Nivi raining kisses on her
R&B chuckled
Ranjan took a plate of food and took the 5 year old boys with him
"Dad, chai banaoon?" she asked
He nodded "Kha le pehle kuch... main inko lekar ghar saaf karta hoon"
A man that did not lift a finger at home until 8 years ago was a worker bee now
II refused to go on vacations without him
The kids adored him
Many nights he had one or two by him on his bed...
"thatha can we get a dog?" the talkative one WENT BACK to his whine... just like someone we know
