November 8. “Did you watch the cricket match between India and Australia this morning?”
“I did.”
“Wasn’t it disastrous? It was unbelievable how badly India played.”
November 7. “Button, did you enjoy assisting me with the cooking yesterday? Was it fun?”
“It was great fun.”
“Do teddy bears eat fish only?”
November 6. 4pm. “I know why you are checking your mail so early in the evening.”
“Why, Button?”
“Because it’s your daughter’s birthday and you have some special cooking to do in the evening. You basically want to keep yourself free.”
November 5. “I know you were around, Button, when we called in my daughter’s birthday. It was a good thing you were there.
Did you wish her like Rani and Mowgli did? Did you give her a peck on her cheek?”
November 4. “Button, there’s good news.”
“What? Are you going to share it with me?”
“Why else would I tell you there’s good news if I didn’t want to share it with you!”
“So tell me quickly.”
Flash Post 4!
There’s a jamun tree in the compound where we live. It towers over quite a few vehicles parked underneath and looks over them like a mother! Thrice a year, she also delivers babies, in the form of jamuns which, to the annoyance of one of my daughters in particular, are spewed out in bulk over her vehicle thus staining it badly. She is almost on the verge of having delivered all her babies till the next time round.
Here she is replete in her glory.
November 3. “I am very happy today.”
“Why, Button?”
“Didn’t you just see Rani as well as Mowgli enter my room?”
November 2. “I read a very sad story in the papers this morning, Button.”
“Don’t tell me these sad stories.”
October 31. “Button, this was a bad month for the club. In spite of it being Diwali, we did not do good business.
To top that, the fire which ruined our reception area entirely and some parts of the gym ruined our chances of attracting probable members from coming and enrolling.”
