I just read RMLR's latest post about how his kiddie antics are the topic of conversation at most of his family functions. This set me thinking. What is it about the things we do as a kid that makes us so adorable to our elders?
I, for one, am constantly tormented by this incident being recalled at every gathering of my extended family. It seems that there used to be an 11 lakh State lottery that was advertised very aggressively on TV when I was 2 or 3. The words "Akra Laakh" (11 lakhs) were constantly shouted out during this commercial. My take on these words? "Akhkha Naak" (Full Nose)!!!
The other thing that irritates me is the tendency of the older aunties to pull my cheeks. OK, I know I am fat, my cheeks are big, but that doesn't mean that u should pull them!!! Oh boy, the hours I have spent plotting the various forms of torture that I would submit their cheeks to.....
