My memo to my mom Fuzzy

Hi Folks,I'm Ina I guess my mom Fuzzylogic has been going on and on about me so I take it that you guys all kind of know me and so I need not introduce myself.Don't let her fool you with all those sweet things she says, I'm here today to present my case to my mom and let her know the things that's been kind of bothering me lately.You see I have always wondered what she keeps doing on this laptop of hers everyday for few hours,you know its like I have to actually vye for attention with this big screen fella.So I thought I'd check this big fella today and see what has he got that interesting.He does look like a pretty bright chap and I have heard him play some good music and even making my mom laugh,he is surely not thinking of taking her away from me do you?I'd smear all the peanut butter I have on his face and remove his so called keys(I think he is handicapped,you see I never see his legs or hands) and pull out his power cord(you know I have been subtly trying to hint him to stay off from enamouring my mom and just to give him a taste of how miserable I can make his life) I am even planning to get the puppy to pee on him,all in all I can fight the battle,puh!I don't think he'd last even one round!Anyway I digress as I said I'm here to write a memorandum to my mom.So let me get to it.

To:My mama Fuzzylogic

Re:your little daughter Ina

So,let me come straight to the point Mum.Until few months back things really were going pretty smooth in my life.Ok,why beat around the bush and lie to you,actually I think things could really have been better.Lately you've been making that "mean" face at me a lot and sometimes you do tend to vent a lot on the phone about me to granny.Ok,I will go easy on you as you are a first time parent but I can't promise it's always going to be this way,you better toughen up,things are going to get lot more tougher as I grow up.Also I have been noticing you are getting hassled with even the tiniest of things,like the other day when you put my bottle inside the oven and my potatoes inside the dishwasher.I think we really need to talk.

First things first:

1.Stop reading those parenting books and visiting those websites.I agree some of those books look pretty and has a lot of baby pics in them and are really colorful.Maybe you will find a few pointers in them but you see I'm actually very unique.I can tell you what I really want if you would play more often with me than reading those books and wasting both of our times.I can even share that pieces of cheese I find in the corners with you and we can have a fun time!

2.Tell dad to stop playing that really irritating Baby Einstein videos,I'm sick of hearing that boring music as well as those dumb looking images they show,how can that make me smart I want to know.All it usually makes me is crawl near the tv and switch it off(by the way,just to let you know I now know how to switch it on and off,including the home theatre receiver,beleive me it's kind of fun) and I love watching those kick ass videos on music channel,tell dad to keep up with the times!

3.Really stop getting me those annoying toys which make those jingling noises dumb sounds and sings pathetically some innane nursery songs,what do you take me for?I would really love to experiment more in my own way,and by the way next time you take me to the toy store can you please ask me what would I prefer?see I even said please.I do find the kitchen stuff you use very interesting,did you know that if I bang it hard and long enough it does have such a musical quality about it much better than those which the toys make.I would like to submit a request that you allow me more access to those cupboards and cabinets which house these interesting gadgets and tools.

4.Don't feed me things that are not in your plate.I never see those carrots,broccoli or peas feature daily on your plates.I know I'm willing to experiment and I'm at a stage where I should be tasting a whole variety of flavours but you see I too have my limits.Don't look at me and ask again and again whether I want cheese when I say "eeezzz" yes I do mean it as cheese and ofcourse I want it,why would I say it otherwise?And yes I love throwing the peas on the floor and squashing them and smearing them all over the high chair.Keep that tissue away from me while I'm at it.If you can't have it then take those peas off my plate please.Did you notice how my hair stands all straight when I use them as a hair gel,you never seem to notice how fashionable I'm being instead of trying to scoff and discourage me from doing them.No one recognizes the diva in the making.I demand my individual right to be messy.

5.I love going to Uncle A's place often,you know he is the only guy who allows me to take an easy stroll all around his house and play with his dvd player and he didn't even mind that I broke one of his favorite christmas tree ornaments the other day.You should take me to such places instead of the ones where I am forced to sit on your lap or on the stroller while you guys sit around and make boring conversations.I also don't like those negative intonations like "stop,no,don't" from your talk.They really bug me.

6.Last but not the least yes I like to repeat things and do same things over and over again.I don't like the way you take a deep sigh when I expect you to lift me up one more time and sing that song "Pat a cake".Get used to it!You are going to be doing a lot more of repetitions soon.By the way don't think I haven't noticed how even you and dad keep looking at the same things over and over again whenever we go to that food store.By the way that reminds me get some of that pear juice for me the next time we go to that store,I sort of love that taste and that small pen which lights when I shake it is pretty cool too,would love to have that one.Just add it to my wanted list.

Ok mom,I think that's it for now,keep watching for more memos as and when I feel the need.By the way I do love you a lot more than you know!

Hey folks,thanks for letting me submit this memo.All of you take care and thanks for being here with my mom!ciao gotta go and pee and smear some more yogurt and cheese on the floor.

This was the cutest post EVER. Your kiddo is very smart it seems and I agree with everything she said, so you better buckle up...lol. She reminds me of my neice Noor. These kids do what they say, believe me. She was once chatting with me online and I went away for a while, she got so angry that she threw the webcam on the floor... :P

Artnavy said...

Spadoman said...

That was very creative and oh so precious. Are these posted pictures of the actual family? Are we seeing Ina in htese photos?

Oh, and she forget to mention one thing she told me to remind you to also listen to Papa Spadoman when he tells her things 'cause he is a nice old man and knows what he's talkin' bout.

Peace to you, and a smile :-)

Enjoy your li'l girl.

Ina-I have gone through the memo,me and dad are discussing it and will reach to a consensus soon and will let you know.You little brat!

Ricky-Thanks,I will convey the appreciation to Ina:)I can believe how your niece would have vented her anger on the webcam,they truly can speak their minds at times!Thanks for coming by.

Artnavy-Aha!Ina gets a supporter:)She will surely be thrilled to have you sign her cause.I know I have to indulge her now or she will form a rally or a protest march:)

Spadoman-I have been told by Ina to listen to you.She seems to have taken a liking to all of you here,wonder what new memos await me:)All the pics are not Ina's infact only 2 of them are our family pics,the brat didn't want to reveal herself incase her dad happened to stumble on the blog.I will promise to put her pics up in another post.Hope you are having a great vacation!

Sanjay-I think I have to,look out for a post sometime soon:)

Something to say-The smarty pants is 11 1/2 months old and she is really a handful.How old is your A?
I'm still trying to strike a deal with her regarding the vegetables ,I will let you know when she agrees and we sign the peace treaty:)

Orchid-I know,its easier to try getting them to eat healthier than changing our habits:)Sometimes I feel I'm being such a hypocrite!
atleast let them eat them before they taste those french fries and junk food and go beserk!

Unknown said...

Yup. My 2-year-old lectures me all the time, though he's not quite that articulate. Usually, it's something to the effect of "No, Daddy, don't tickle me" or "your too big, daddy."

And thanks for visiting my blog!

rayshma said...

Baron Ectar said...

I cant wait till that girl of yours is a young woman and reads this and says - you know mom thats exactly what I was thinking!

What a history you are building for her here!

You rock Fuzzy!!!

Me said...

Aw, so precious.

Fuzzylogic said...

Dorky dad-Yes kids can say the darnest of things,I can't imagine how my little one will be once she starts articuating!Thanks for dropping by.

Itching to write-Ina's tribe is growing:)She will surely jump at the idea of getting her own laptop,she really enjoys the keyboard so much already.I'm sure you are now having your hands full with your twins!Thanks for coming by.

Rayshma-Hey thanks!Seems like everyone wants the mom's reply for the memo:)I will have to do a post sometime soon about that now:)

Baron-Thanks Baron,I hope when she grows up she can also sit and laugh about this.Maybe its good that I did this blog thingy,its like those photographs which seem to seal memories,this could be something I can also look back and smile upon.

Orhan-Thanks for coming by.
