I was home the first week of my children’s school holidays and on the first day of holidays, my son came to my room to give me a kiss before he went out. He always gives me a kiss before going out.
“Where are you off to?” I asked
“Going out for a movie with friends” He replied
“have fun” I told him.
Few days later, the same scenario repeated again
He came to my room, gave me a kiss and I asked him
“Who is the girl?”
He looked at me for a few seconds and then asked me
“How do you know there is a girl?”
“Darling, it is pretty obvious, last time you went out for the movie, you wore shorts and t-shirt, today you ironed your shirt, wore matching shorts and have generously dabbed yourself with Davidoff( more like dunking himself in perfume)”
“Mom, you are so perceptive” he replied while grinning.. because there is a girl 🙂
I think one of the most important skills a mother ought to have is perception. My kids are not going to update me about every details of their personal life. They don’t have to. But that doesn’t mean that I ought to be clueless.
I think it comes too easy for women 🙂 – I would never in a million years have noticed it! I suspect it is the same for many of my sex.
Goutham: I don’t know if it is a woman thing.. I just notice little things.. and I have male friends who too notice little things like I do.
Like they say,
Mothers know best (well most of the time lol) 🙂
