Sugar and Spice And All Things Nice ???

A long time ago, in country far away from here, there was this wonderful, brilliant, kind, caring and sensitive little boy. (okay I exaggerated, remove all adjectives, he wasn't even little !!! )

And this boy was around five years old when his parents told him he was going to have a little sister (Don't remember whether they told "sister" or "brother or sister". Think prenatal testing is legal in that country. Anyway let me get on with the story !!! )

Eagerly he awaited her coming and did everything possible to make things better for her. Like talk to her about what's happening outside so she dosen't get a shock when she finds out she dosen't know any current affairs. (Guess he needn't have WORRIED. She's lived all these years without an inkling of what's happening in this world !!! )
And he waited a long time, watching as she grew bigger and bigger, trying to feel her kick through the womb.

And then one day, after multiple visits to Mom who was in the hospital now, she was born. A really small, black kid. Really small arms and legs and didn't cry much.
He wasn't really impressed. After the long wait it was really a letdown to see something that looked more like a doll than a sister !!!

Anyway he was quite excited and behaved the best he could. Looking after her (more like looking at) and alerting mommy when she cried. And he realized he quite liked the little girl who was his sister.

Then she began to grow up, to crawl around and get in his way, to play with or eat or tear up or infinitely many other hideous acts with his belongings. Now THIS was getting irritating.

Then he slowly realized he had to SHARE his parents too !!! What cruelty !!! What injustice !!! First she comes late and wants an equal share !!! And she gets more !!! She gets more time, attention and love than he, The FIRST BORN !!!

This was getting vexatious and she showed no signs of letting up. She grew bigger and MEANER and more irritating and started to walk. Now she had more range and could get at my things which were kept at heights too.

And then he started hating her. She who took away his parents time, money and attention. She who got at his things, she who bugged him while he did anything, she who ...#$#^... All that infinitely hideous things she did that makes me shudder.

(Coming up next : The Transformation)

Disclaimer : This is my point of view. My mom says my sister never touched, forget destroyed any of my things, never ever bugged me or anybody else for that matter, and had the best disposition in a child she has ever seen.

I choose to disagree and wonder why moms always support Daughters !!! Atleast the attention grabbing part is true.

And my sister claims that I used to (and still ?!!) hurt her and is the attention grabbing, wasting money, irritating sibling. She also claims I ate all her food stunting her growth !!!

Anyway since either of them don't have a blog, you can only believe the TRUTH as expounded by ME !!!
