In 1999, I was first time father… naturally a proud one to my sweet little daughter…. An intent to keep my family small, I grew it by 2 more…By 2006 I was father of 3 and I intent to be rolling that way even further… but, I had to bow down before nature’s wish. My little sane daughter and 2 astutely behaved sons makes a picture perfect family….
Err… did I tell you about ‘T’… wait up… go back….a bit,
When my wife was carrying our second son the 3rd kid, I had to shop around for a non-biological son to be partnering with my elder impatient Son, who was just 1 then and did not want to wait for his biological brother to show up to the world. And finally we approached ‘Life is Good’ center where they were to sell well behaved boys supposedly. We picked the fairer and a good looking one named ‘T’, we also picked some parenting tips from the center owner on how to nurture kids from his lot.
Finally ‘T’ stepped into our life with much of happiness and above all he got a big wide smile on my 1 yr old son's face. My wife was truly happy and she hoped that she got a helping hand now…. Few days of T’s inception to the new family, everything went through right… but… when my new son had finally arrived bringing in loads of joy into the family, all of us were bloated with immense happiness, but sooner my house started appearing to be shrunked…. It was just a 2BHK and we needed some space to stretch arms…shuffling things around did not work.... and finally we all looked at ‘T’ sadistically and politely but with concealed profanity asked him, if he can shift to balcony hereon…. T was part of our family more than 6 months then who softly accepted the fact that he needs to make room to the new family member….
