I walked
into my room. All of a sudden, it caught my attention. I went back, paused for
a moment, and it was there. I peered in closer to make sure if it really was
what I saw. She passed by the room and saw me staring into the mirror.
“What’s
wrong”? Mum asked.
“Grey
hair, Ma. I have got so many of them.” I said.
“Oh!
Okay.” She remarked. (Her daughter’s worry over grey hair didn’t even surprise
her for a moment).
“Ma, I
have grey hair. I am just twenty-three”! Twenty-three and so many strands are grey
already!
“Chill,
it is okay. Having grey hair is not a big achievement. This had to happen. Out
of the 23 years, you have spent 13 years of life just sleeping anyway. If you
didn't get grey hair despite having slept for 13 years then you should worry.”

ReplyDeleteShe sure does! :)
DeleteMoms...i think they are critical of us so that we grow stronger by the time we grow up and get married. Because after getting married, no matter what you do, appreciation is a far-fetched dream....
