Kids Test My Patience

This weekend I went to Kandy to attend a family wedding, with my sis and mother. My job was to take care of my sis’s 4 years old son (this is a job that I always want to escape). This kid really tested my patience during the 3 hrs traveling sitting on my lap and asking questions.

Promises taken before the journey: uncle show me rabbits, elephants, aero plane today …

Journey begins …

Uncle show me rabbits…Repeated 100 times…
Okay, where can I find rabbits in Kandy road???
Showed him whatever the animals I can see in the road...still the kid is not satisfied…finally found some birds in a restaurant and …he is satisfied.

Kid is quiet for 15 min time…
Uncle show me an elephant…Repeated 100 times
This time it is an elephant … I can see only the Buffaloes in paddy fields…
Ohhh thank god …I found an elephant!!! …it is a fake elephant exhibited in a handicraft shop …it looked like a real one … who cares… Kid satisfied …

Kid is quiet for 15 min time…
I saw a Chassi of an old car on a roof top …see there is a flying car …Ohhhh… since the vehicle is traveling too fast he missed the scene …
Uncle show me flying car…Repeated 100 times…this time it is my fault, showing unnecessary things to the kid …Now search for flying cars ..
Solution …car sale expanded over multiple floors… see flying cars, Lorries, vans and bikes …kid satisfied.

Kid is quiet for 15 min time…
He stars again, saying uncle show me …this time I started shouting at him…now the kid start crying ….oh my god it is non-stop ...finally he start beating me (mothers advice to me, don’t shout just be patient and say yes.. yes.. yes.. technique worked fine).


Kid is quiet for 15 min time…
He vomits …ohhh ….can this kid do anything precious than this …now clean up session and finally he goes to sleep. We reached the wedding house lately and when I got out of the vehicle… I was wondering whether the dress is ironed properly and neat (thanx to the kid)

Lesson learned.
1. Never give promises to kids…keep in mined by hook-or-crock u have to make it true.
2. Avoid taking kids for long trips...if not @ least give them sleeping tablets in advance.

Whatever said ... Kids are Kids...we must be doing the same things those days to our uncles… actually mothers doing a great job … don’t know how they spend the whole day with a kid.
