The Lost Fight !!

If you have kids then you know motherhod is no joke, and if you are a stay at home mom like me, then God save you. Its like having a 24/7 restaurant and entertainment center running together at the same time, the only difference is that there are no other employees working in shift with you. Its You, just you !! Hallelujah !!

My house is a Mad house ruled by a two minions army, that I made myself. There are days when I feel like,

I was having a fun conversation with my younger sister one day.  I told her some of the days, I totally lose it. I dont mind all the work and everything, its the constant sibling fights that get me. I mean come on, they both possibly can not need NO REASONS to be at each other's throat? How do they even do that? Fight for a reason and I will understand. Dont fight because you are bored and you are like, "Do you want to play FIGHT ?"

It feels like they have a hidden agenda and they conspire to make it true by fighting.

I just want to scream and say,

She jokingly told me that instead of yelling at my little minions when they drive me nuts, I should try and whisper the same words in their ears in a calm, bone chilling tone. We were laughing and imagining how it will be less taxing on my body, and hopefully, more effective and eerie for them.

I had forgotten all about our wishful talk, and remembered it y'day when I was reading one of my friends post on facebook.

Since, I am a behavioral scientist at heart, I was ready to test our little theory.

I did not have to wait long to try it, do you really have to when you have two kids army at your home?

In the evening, I had to intervene to save my son from the clutches of his sister. I pulled my daughter with both hands, my eyes cold as ice, a dead man's look on my face, hard as steel, leaned close to my daughter's ears and whispered, "Leeeeeeet       hiiiimmmm goooo." I even heaved a long breath as I finished my sentence, allowing enough lapse of time between each words and letting GOOOO fade into eternity. I have watched too many horror movies to know that I had it all bang on. I was hoping to get some positive results from my dramatic reinforcement.

My 4 yrs old daughter who was pulling her older brother's hair, looked confused and said 'mommy, goo goo monster.' And then started imitating me. She had learnt dance steps to the song 'Ghost Busters' at her school for the annual day show and I am pretty sure that as she mocked me, the movement of her body was the same as those dance steps. 

 My 8 yrs old boy who was crying because he was getting beaten by his younger sister (yes, figure it out) started laughing and said, 'why are you talking so weird?'

Yeah, instead of scaring them, I actually amused them. Now both of them were united in mocking me. You know I had an Eureka moment at that time !!

I may not know if I should be proud or scared, but it's okay, i know that atleast the fight broke off.
