Irresistible
I have a nephew. Jehaan’s his name. He’s an adorable three year old with the cutest dimples. He has this way of looking at you with the most adorable smile on his face and the naughtiest gleam in his eyes.
The poor little guy’s been sick. He’s been in and out of coughs, colds and stomach upsets over the last 3-4 weeks. Well, he’s finally feeling better, so my sister decides it's time for him to get back to school. Man, schools nowadays… Even, kids in Nursery have assignments; rather their mom’s have them. The latest one was that the mothers had to draw life size pictures of their kids. My sister, Delnaz, or Dinku as I call her, made the apple of her eye lie down on chart papers and drew out his outline. Then the two of them had a fun time colouring it. Awwwww…
Anyway time came to get the assignment to school. Dinku decided that she would take Jehaan to school in the car just this once as the “assignment” was too cumbersome to carry on the school bus. While dropping him off at school, she heard a plaintive voice say, “Mamma, please come to pick me up too”. She explained to him that the maid would come to pick him up from the bus stop in the afternoon. He was adamant anyway. So she told him, “I’ll try to come just for today, but I’m very busy”… The reply came with the puppy look, “So, don’t be busy, Mamma”. Needless to say, my sister did go to pick him up.
P.S. I love my nephew… He’s just given me a new line to use whenever some one tells me “I can’t make it. I’m busy.”
P.P.S. How to: The puppy look: Lean your head to one side, look up at the object of attention with pleading eyes and give out a wistful smile. (Description courtesy: Bolt - The Disney Animated feature)
