- You spend most of your time in the hotel’s bathroom. And we’re not talking about bubble-baths here! Pass me the bottle brush will ya?
- You try to make yoghurt in your hotel room because your toddler refuses to eat anything else. Does the fact that toddler did not eat room-brewed yoghurt ( sounds a bit ugh right but it’s not really that bad) count as a third point. Probably not. But, I had to mention it anyway.
- Your eat ‘paruppu sadham’ for room-service dinner, leftovers from toddler. Do you know how much a resort charges for ‘paruppu sadham’ aka
‘daal chaaval’? - You allow toddler to drink Mirinda to avoid a scene in the airport. Exactly what a child who is already running around needs right?
- Much to your relief, your child eats pureed banana for lunch. You pretend not to read the fine print that says ‘ Suitable for Sitter Stage’.
- You pay the airline extra baggage to carry Fisher Price’s Froggy Seat? Fine let’s not mention the 120 matching hair-clips for toddler’s outfits.
- You spend a mentionable portion of your vacation on the floor. You’re searching for the aforementioned hair-clips that your toddler insists on plucking out of hair in 2 seconds.
- The books you longingly bought for your vacation came along for the free ride. Probably contributed to the damm excess baggage as well.
- You take turns going for the buffet breakfast with your spouse. No point in changing todder’s morning routine.
- No lounge-chair by the swimming pool has your bum imprint on it!
A true riddle is one that compares two unnrelated things in a metaphorical manner and is usually verbal, either written or spoken, deliberately phrased in such a way as to baffle and puzzle the reader or listener, sometimes prefixed by an interrogative formula such as ' Riddle me, riddle me re'. This blog is about my daughter, Ri as she baffles and puzzles, making me seek answers to life's little riddles, one step at a time

Heyy Hi
ReplyDeleteCame across your blog from Parentree
Haven't read your other posts yet, but the two in this series had me grinning ear to ear. I LOVE list 2, esp !!! Travelling with these kids is one hell of a challenge and I don't know why I do it over and over again...there's always something called HOPE deep down there somewhere I guess, that vacations will be vacations again some day :-)
Hey Forever Mom :) Thanks for dropping by.
