Time:10.00am
I realise that there's less than a pint of milk in the fridge.
I wrap myself with the hooded coat, scarf, gloves, boots what not. Plus wrap the child with all mentioned, and force him onto the pushchair.
Time:10.20am
All set to go.
Time:10.30am.
Back from the shop with the milk can. Found panju sleeping, so quickly gave it a thought. Because I'd like to spend more time out, than getting ready to go out whenever possible, I decided to shop for a ball for the child, something I wanted to do, ever since he started walking. How simple does that sound? So I first went into the local supermarket. They turned me down and suggested toysrus (exclusive toy shop). At toys r us, they only had basket ball or football, which even I found it hard to lift. I showed my child and told them I'm buying for him. With a big grin she said "I know what you're looking for" and went in and brought a huge packet full of blue and green, pink and orange balls. "I'll have the orange one please", I said. "No darling, they come in packs of 100.. we don't sell them in singles!". I don't need 100s of them cluttering my house. Thankuverymuch. So I went straight into this corner Chinese shop, and bought this one monster of a ball. Hope its not too small for a 15 month old;)

what does one do with 100s of balls anyway ?play with a ball a day ?!??;-).. the one u bought looks nice and colourful ..
Smita..not to mention, how embarassed I was to get into the shops asking do u have a ball ;)
bedazzled..lol seriously! but those come under "outdoor games".. the ones like u'd see in restos for kids to play...
lol!!! I didn't even think of that :D am an innocent u see :P
BTW What does the title mean?? bbtt!!!
Smit:) the title is a dialogue from a film... the dialogue delivery should hv been in a really distressed and shocked tone, but the way the actor spoke the sentence only made everyone find it humourous.. the sentence became so popular that it even became ringtone... thats a kind of remark made whenever someone is kind of fed of something..sorry I can't answer briefly u see, can only write essays.
lol at going into stores asking for one :) so strange that toysrus didnt have such a simple thing ... i can see why u got fed up!! anyway, the one u got is v. cute and should see lots of playtime!
cp-it sure wld see loads of playtime, atleasr for cpl of days!
Nalla velai, Saravanan vandu kaapaatittaru. ;)
Simplest of the things are toughest to get. The ball looks very nice and colourful. As long as its not heavy, its good.
Wake up girl!
Started walking? How time flies...:)
