Home Alone

Last week my parents decided to go to Madras.I was goin to stay here.
I was all excited..some independance wud do me good :-)
However my parents thought it wouldn't be safe for me to be alone and left my kid cousin bro with me.As if hes gonna do some dishum dishum if we are attacked my thieves..Anyways I was not all that disappointed.How much trouble can a kid cause?oh boy!Was I wrong?
These three days without my mom has been crazy.I was strictly told that I was supposed to cook as my cousin might fall sick if he eats food from outside.
The first day I got up really early and decided to make dosa. I was totally sleepy.
My cousin followed me around to the kitchen.. He stood next to me and was giving a running commentary on whatever I was doing.Every now and then he would give me a disapproving look and say "tch tch..my mom nevvvverrr does it that way"..The third time he said that I wanted to spank him.However that didn't seem an intelligent thing to do so I stopped with a glare and somehow succeeded in shooing him away.
Usually I cook well..as in er.. I can make something edible.I do not know what happened that day,the dosa was attached to the pan like its stuck with superglue or something.I lost my patience.Finally the dosa tasted good..but only thing was that it didn't have an appealing shape.I was gettin late and there was nothing else I could do.So I took it to him like it was.He just kept staring at it and asked me very innocently "edhu enna eppadi erukku?".I was quite ready for that one and told him confidently its supposed to be scrambled dosa..something like kothu parota..and i also told him that u get it only in saravana bhavan..Analysing the whole thing now i feel i shudve cut out the saravana bhavan stuff.. (When am I goin to learn?)
Anyways my mom called at that time and talked to my cus.He promptly told the whole story along with the saravana bhavan stuff.Telephone conversation ended in me hearing a lecture.Even the lecture was ok,am quite used to it.But when my when my mom finally said "En de paavam kozhandhaya(!!) emathara?" ("Dont fool the poor child") I felt "Why me?" Rest of the day I felt like a crook!!
That evening after all this I really needed to destress myself and had to watch a movie.I picked "When Harry met Sally" I assumed he would go to sleep early and I can watch it peacefully.I dunno why my planning always flops..
It was ten in the night and he was still wide awake.
I thought big deal,I would watch the movie.I told him to stop his WWF.He agreed immediately.I thought to myself..mebbe hes a sweet boy after all.
Ive never regretted anything in my life like watching the movie that day. I couldn't handle his questions!!I wanted to burst out laughing at whatever he was asking.But ofcourse I couldn't .I switched it half way and back to WWF..much more safer!
Hope I just survive this week without any disasters!!
and how I miss my mom!
