Call it second childhood or senility... but to act like a stubborn child, none better than my mother to do the impersonation and at times, I feel like a mom to her. Its like we switch roles...
Be it small things, which she starts to sulk for, or blow out of proportion, or big things which all of a sudden seem mighty funny to her, that makes you wanna scream, " I am serious !!!! Will you please listen ?"... They turn into total children... As much as I enjoy and laugh along with her during her tantrums, it would be a gross injustice if I didn't mention that it does get on my nerves sometimes.
You feel sad for her, deteriorating health-wise. And you want to help her... But when she throws such a tantrum regarding something, that makes you wanna say, "Ok ! You know what... I guess I don't have to do this at all. Guess you have everything under control after all... ". Asking me to do things, and then doing them herself, because I didn't jump up the very moment the order was uttered and sprint to finish the job. Just because, I am tired myself and had just put my legs up, and sat as comfortably as possible after a long day...
Mothers ! As much as they are exciting, they are exasperating, at times !
But at the end, We can't live without them either, can we? I sure can't !!
