It takes a lot of life experience to know that most of the tangible things in life can be bought, if you know the price. The price may not necessarily be in money, but almost anything can be bought or sold one way or the other.
The Generation Z learns this lesson faster than any other, thanks to constant stream of advertisements washing over us 24x7.
During one of his aggressive phases, Ashir was angry at me.
"Ashir, you are going to clean this mess now and go to bed" - I said.
"No I will not"
"I will count till 10"
"NO COUNTING.." - He shrieked
"One, Two.."
"NOOOO , I will kick the numbers"
"What?"
"You cannot kick the numbers, I am counting.. Three Four.."
"NOOOO I will kick you"
"What did you say?"
"I will kick you out" - He was furious
My jaw dropped - "What? You will kick me out? I will be sad and not come back"
"OK, I will get a new Papa from the Papa Store"
I was shocked. He looked at me for a few seconds and realized immediately that he has said something terribly wrong. He came to me running, held my face with both hands and said.
"Sorry, Papa, I will clean now"
