I've always been a great fan of good language..The beautiful use of words twisted and turned to change their meaning to express love, hatred, joy, sadness- the entire gamut of emotions can be so potent !
My love for language also made me a diction trainer..I may have known a few more words than the average Jane, but the meanings and the impact of even the commonest of words truly sunk in only after becoming a mother of 2 brats !
My new word dictionary follows :
1)hatred : what you feel for your husband during labour pains.
2) magic : the transition that happens in your heart when ur beautiful little baby opens its eyes for the first time.
3) babies : Tiny volcanoes of noise and energy that burst at the most inopportune moments !
4) trance : the most peaceful quiet moment where the mind is blank and free from all greed and fear - because u r sleeping next to your babies, smelling their skin and hearing their heartbeats !
5) handsome : the quality of good looks that belongs ONLY to your son !
6) Beautiful : The quality of good looks that belong ONLY to your daughter !
7) bragging : what all parents do from the time their child is born till they turn 5 or 6 years old .
8) joy : the overpowering feeling of contentment while you go crazy playing and laughing with ur rascals.
9) bliss : watching the kids play while you can read and the maid can clean up behind them.
10) fear : losing sight of your child in a crowded mall even if for a second !
11) gratitude : what you feel after you spot your child again.
12) incorrigible : that quality of your child where no matter what you do, he / she will never stand corrected..coz he / she threatens you to get lost in the mall again if you dont give him what he wants !
13) anger : The feeling that you get in your hands and teeth when your child wont eat after ordering 4 of his favourite dishes !
14) frustrated : what you feel when your child insists on doing potty the same second that u sit to eat after starving the whole morning !
15) cheated : the feeling most new parents are left with after long sleepless nights, no time tables, no sex and a colic child !
16) worth it ! : even after all the above, the way you feel about having your baby while he / she is asleep like an angel !
17) love : something to be completely understood only after you become a parent !
happy parenting :)
