When the childoo becomes the mother....
#ChildooTales
I've been having an itchy throat since y'day and have been doing all the home remedies I keep sharing here :)))) I've started coughing today and I'm definitely coming down with a cold. I'm a bit feverish and a bodyache has just sort've started. Not nice, since we're travelling from Tuesday.
I just had some green tea with honey (childoo wanted me to load up the honey!)
I was running through my options of what to snack on - healthy snacks that are good for a cold (I had a lovely fried egg this morning with the yolk nice and soft :)). And I realised I kept on saying nah to all the food I give my childoo when she's coming down with a cold. She patiently listened to grumpy me without reacting. And I was horrified that I was rejecting an entire list of wholesome food I give my childoo RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER!!!
Mannn I told her that's horrible of me, said SORRY and she should not pay attention to me rejecting the food ideas we ran by and she's like, "Chill mamma, you're not horrible, and you're not setting a bad example. Everyone feels grumpy when they are unwell."
So much gyaan from #thetenyearold :)
She then told me to rest. And she said she would like to make both of us an evening snack - some garam garam pasta! So that's what she's doing while I'm typing this out. I didn't take any pix. Not of her in the kitchen. And not of the pasta. I will just savour the moment.
What little deeds do your childoos do that brighten up your day? Do share!
