Moving is painstaking and yes, it's inevitable. It's physically draining and emotionally exhausting ( did I mismatch the words?). Nevertheless, when your kid starts to enjoy the new place it's all worth it, isn't it? Now it's upto adults to cope with the new place and newest neighborhood. As well as the kids are concerned they are like magicians, you begin to wonder ' when and how did they become so adaptable?' (inspite of all your effotrs ;-)! )
At times, I enjoy the conversations with new people. For example what happened today in the park,I met a lady who struck a conversation.
Her: What's his name? ( pointing at my son)
Me : Neil
Her: Is it ' N-double e-l'?
Me : That too but this one is 'N-e-i-l'.
(Hmmmm, really? how does that matter when you don't have to spell his name every time?)
Her : And your good name?
Me : Will the bad one do?
Her : -blank-
Me : ( huh, such a PJ), It's Geetha but I don't know if it's good !
( I almost bit my tongue when I realized I said it out loud. It sounded so much better inside my head, trust me it did :-( ).
Her : No No, everybody's name is good.
Me : Well yeah thanks ( I asked for it!).
Sometimes I wonder if I'm socially challenged. What do you all think? Wait.... don't answer that !!!! But the last one reminded me of one of the t-shirts I had when I was in my 20s. It was written ' I'm one of those bad things that happen to good people' ! Hehehehe, I felt it was very cool until now but I guess 30s is not for that kind of show-off !
