IHM, it looks like we may be more alike than I ever thought! :D I tried denying to myself that I ever talk like that to my kids but didn't succeed. Well, maybe I'm not quite so commanding but I suppose that's something you have to grow into. I'm such a wimp!
Nebu, think of all those commanding matriarchs you've ever met. Now think of someone who would be the exact opposite of them, and that's what a wimp is. In other words... me!
I loved this! And Sunita, like you, I'm afraid I'm rather a wimp - a real softie. Even though I try to mask it, I think my kids see right through it! Thanks for sharing this.
Kamini, maybe we should work on a Wimps Song! "Oh c'mon! oh all right! Just this once ..." ;D Just what is it that makes kids so sharp at seeing through everyone, especially their parents? And just why does that talent disappear when they become parents themselves?
I also posted this one on my blog :) Love it... reminds me of me, my mom and every other mom I know :)
