It is August. I'm at work. Working on a story that concerns pregnant women. Babies. August. Me!
No. I'm not having a baby.
I was a baby once upon a time in August some 18 years back :] Cute no?
As a baby, I was pretty much the same. Never caused any trouble. Traveled ticket-less in the local trains. With the mother of course. Helped her call for taxis and autos. (You know, mothers use their puppy faced babies for this task. It is legal.)
At the babysitting (I refuse to use fancy words like crèche and all.) I ate and I slept. I had two best friends from kindergarten and they were the last best friends I ever had. All of us, some 10-15, used to watch television shows with our babysitter all through the afternoon every single day. Though not a word made sense. Now you know where the filminess comes from :]
And we all ate from each other tiffin boxes. Total chaos. Taking advantage of the situation, I ate more than I should.
We made up stories and all of us believed each other cause none of us knew what the other was talking. Then, in the evenings we sat in a row waiting for our parents to pick us up. Like jail inmates. (okay i tend to exaggerate a bit for fun :P)

On those rare occasions when I cried, babysitter's teen daughter did two things:
- Put me in a swing and swing the swing at an angle of 180 degrees. I froze into wide mouth mode for the rest of the day.
- Spray half a bottle of perfume on me. I froze into dreamy eyed mode for the rest of the day.
And then, once I got back home, I ate more and I slept more-er. Not one moment of trouble I gave anybody.
And I am not kidding about any of the details I have divulged up there. It is very personal. Please do not talk about it outside this blog. People will stop sending their kids to babysittings.
BY THE WAY, babysittings are the best things that can ever happen to a baby. It's almost like you have two families. not friends, they'r family. Trust me :]
I love my babysitter. I visit her every month. To her, I dedicate this post!

@uglyduckling ... OYE :x you dare not flirt with anyone when I'm around. I am telling you.
my maids were my babysitters ever since i was two till i was like thirteen. then one got married and the other got pregnant and ran away. =/
Hmmmmmmm...interesting :P
Awwww such a cute baby you were, taking advantage of the free food. I would have totally kidnapped you if I were an aunty :D
Anyway, I bees very proud of you becoj you meet your baby-sitter every month. Also, because you actually liked those days, unlike people who cry and grumble about having traumatic childhoods because their parents were working and all. I mean you've got to be independant. The sooner you learn it the better. Hai na?
when are you not proud of me? :D huh huh huh? tell me ? :P
Hello from another Indian Cow. :)
