We were in bed, and the brats were not ready to call it a day yet.😴🥱
The never-ending questions, school anecdotes, and last-minute submissions trickle into their minds and subsequently out of their mouth only when it is time for bed. 🙄
“Mumma, last thing… it’s very important…” my seven-year-old started at the umpteenth time. 🤦♀️🤦♀️
“Make it quick. I’ve lost all my patience now…” I blurted out of frustration. You can’t avoid it when something is categorized in the ‘very important category. 😒
While the senior monkey elaborated on his very important stuff, the little monkey (then- three-year-old) said in almost a whisper. “So, Mumma, you won’t be going to the hospital (I am a doctor, by the way) tomorrow?” 😶🏥
“Why?” I replied, sidetracked by her concern for my work. 🤔🤨
“Didn’t you say you have lost all your patients? 🤕Why do you need to go to the hospital if you have no patients?” 🤒😷
Of course, she found my guffaw offensive but decided to let it go.🤣😂 Perhaps she thought that apart from patients, her mother had also lost sanity! 🤪🤭
During medical college, one of my teachers always mentioned how patience is the key to being a doctor! 👩⚕️
It’s only after all these years have I understood what she meant! 😛😝
Thank you for being so patient with my jibber jabber! 🤩😍
No, I didn’t mean that patient!🙈🤦♀️
Aargh… never mind… hope you understand! 😝😅
