Chhori said :Passing on the Donut

Posted on June 21, 2024 | Leave a comment

So, lately, Chhori’s been tagging along on my Sunday walks which we usually go with one of my friends and her daughter. We start off together, but after about 45 minutes, we drop the kids off at home and continue on to finish our 10-kilometer run while the kids have breakfast.

Last week, when we got back, I asked Chhori what she had for breakfast at my friend’s place, and she said she had some bread and eggs. But then, she dropped a surprise – my friend’s daughter had offered her a donut, and she turned it down!

I was stunned and had to ask why, because, let me tell you, this girl loves her donuts. Her response? “Well, didn’t you tell me to eat less junk food? So, I figured it was too early to indulge on the doughnuts.”
I couldn’t believe my ears! I’ve been preaching the gospel of healthy eating and cutting down on junk food to both my kids, but I never realised it was sinking in this well.

I’m beyond proud of Chhori’s decision, and I hope this sets the tone for her making healthy choices for the rest of her life. Proud mum moment, indeed!

Chhori said : Wish Upon an Eyelash

Posted on June 19, 2024 | 1 comment

There’s a little quirk about me: ever since I was a kid, whenever I spot an eyelash fall on someone’s face, I scoop it up and initiate the eyelash wish ritual. You know the drill – close your eyes, blow the lash away, and make a wish. It’s a tradition I’ve carried into adulthood, and now, even with my own kiddos.
The other day, as I was cruising along with Chhori in the car, I caught sight of an eyelash perched on her cheek. Naturally, I seized the moment and prompted her to close her eyes, make a wish, and blow it away. And guess what? She did!

After it was done, I couldn’t resist asking her what she wished for. At first, she hesitated, but then she spilled the beans – she wished for a million bucks. Classic, right? But here’s the kicker: her reasoning melted my heart. She wanted to buy food so I wouldn’t have to work as much. Talk about being considerate!

Of course, I had to play it cool and not get all emotional. So, I casually mentioned that a million dollars is a pretty hefty sum and asked if she had any other wishes. And you know what she said? She wanted to jet off to Japan with the family, flying business class no less!

Now, Japan has been on her mind for a while, and even though we’ve been there before, she doesn’t remember much. Looks like I’ll have to start planning that Japan trip soon!

Do you have any quirky traditions like our eyelash wishes? I’d love to hear your stories!

Chhori said : When Your Workout Turns Deadly… Kind Of

Posted on June 17, 2024 | Leave a comment

So, picture this: I’ve been hitting the gym pretty hard this week, you know, trying to stay fit and all that jazz. But today, when I finally plopped down on my sofa after a particularly intense HIIT session, I realised something… my legs were not happy campers.

I attempted to get up, but it felt like my legs were staging a rebellion against me. So, naturally, I blurted out, “My legs are killing me!”

And guess who decides to chime in, none other than my wise little Chhori. She looks at me with this innocent expression and goes, “How can your legs be killing you? It’s not like they have a knife!”

Seriously, folks, I was speechless. 😂 Anyway, just another day in the life of a fitness enthusiast trying to navigate the hazards of post-workout soreness!

In the chaotic world of family car rides, even phone conversations aren’t safe from the whims of our witty kids.

Case in point: we’re cruising along, hubby’s on a call, and suddenly, this gem unfolds:

Husband: “Sorry, I can’t hear you well; you’re breaking up.”

Daughter: with a look of confusion “But you can’t break up!”

Me: “Why’s that, sweetie?”

Daughter: “Well, you’re not in a romantic relationship.”

Me: chuckling “Actually, we are. We’re married.”

Daughter: with a knowing grin “Exactly! You can’t just break up; you’d need a divorce.”

And just like that, she hits us with the logic bomb, leaving us in stitches as we try to decode the intricacies of “breaking up over the phone.” Leave it to kids to inject some unexpected hilarity into even the most mundane moments. Here’s to many more laugh-out-loud conversations on the road with our little comedian in training!

Chhori Said : Peace and quiet!

Posted on May 21, 2024 | 5 comments

Get ready for some sass straight from the mouth of Chhori, our little firecracker! She’s nine now, and trust me, she knows more than enough to keep us on our toes. So, brace yourselves for her witty retorts and clever comebacks as we dive into another edition of “What Chhori Said.”

Picture this: the whole gang chilling in the living room, soaking up some family time. My hubby, bless his heart, leans over to me with those loving eyes and whispers those three magic words, “I love you.” Classic, right? But before I could bask in the romance, our daughter, the one and only Chhori, throws in her two cents from across the room.

She gives us this look, all knowing and mischievous, and goes, “Oh, but you’re forgetting something, Papa. You also crave peace and quiet, and let’s face it, you’re never getting that around here!”

And just like that, she drops the mic at nine years old! Can you believe the sass on this kid? But hey, that’s the beauty of parenting in the modern age, where even the little ones come armed with enough wit to rival a stand-up comedian. 😊
