Do you feel loved?

When was the last time you feel you’re loved? Was it last month? Last week? Yesterday?
Well, if you stay on your own, and only get to meet your parents once in a blue moon, you’d probably feel the same way as I do.

My mother came to visit recently and after she left, she left many acts of love in the house during her brief stay while I was out for a quick massage. She managed to make black fungus drink for me before I hurried out of the house.

The clothes were washed and hung (the way she hang is different from mine), dried ones are taken down from the hangers and folded neatly (the way she hang and kept the hangers are also different from mine), the piles of folded clothes on the bed are re-folded neatly, the pot and bowl (used for making black fungus drink) are washed..

Never mind all the differences, the fact is, no matter how old she is, one must be truthful and honest to say, a mother’s love for a daughter is never the same as compared to a daughter-in-law. If not, she must be a true gem.

A Day as a Housewife..

Have you ever wondered how much time is spent by housewives cleaning and scrubbing and washing everyday?
About 57-58 hours a week or 8-9 hours a day?

Reasonably close, I would say.
Sleep 5-6 hours a day?
Travel 3-4 hours a day on the road?
Feeding and meal time 3-4 hours a day?
Personal hygiene and grooming 1-2 hours a day?
How much washing and cleaning detergent is used?
How much chemicals are involved?
How much harm is done to the environment and yourself?

Please keep your pencil well

Father was in the study room working away in front of his notebook before bedtime, saw child drawing on the table with a pencil, paused before questioning.

Father: XX, why are you drawing on my table?

Child: (looked up as if in deep thoughts, took a quick glance at Father and continued drawing again) ..

Father: (repeated his question) XX, why are you drawing on my table?

Child: (walked over, stood beside Father, said calmly) Papa, please keep your pencil well, otherwise, I'd use it to draw again!

Father: (jaws dropped upon hearing such 'profound' reply from a 3y 8m 3w 1d old child)..
