twin chat!
She: heyyyy don’t push me na
He: me pushing you?? You are shoving me into a corner… I need more space
She: we all need more space, but for now this is all we have, so stop pushing!
He: okok, how long do we have to be here, jostling for space? I want to get out yaar…
She: even I want to…but we cant just go out, the 6th month is ON, didn’t you hear mom say this to someone over telephone? Its 9 months before we can be delivered to the outside world
He: delivered?? I thought we were supposed to be born!
She: uff dumbo!! We will be born, but babies are delivered by the doctor, its called delivery.
He: wowwww!!! Is it?? Then I know where we are going to be delivered…
She: where? Where?? And how do you know???
He: we will be born…I mean delivered here at home itself
She: at home?? How come?
He: last evening dad was on phone, while mom was knitting a sweater, and he said over phone about wanting a ‘free home delivery’
She: O MY GOD!!! One big stupid idiot you are!!! That was dad calling the pizza restaurant for a free home delivery; didn’t you see they were eating pizza for dinner later in the evening? It was THAT!
He: ohhh…so where will we be delivered?
She: in a hospital, I am so eager to be born, to go into the outside world and start living my life…I want to be graceful and beautiful like mom, have you seen her look into the mirror every morning, after she has her bath? She looks sooooo charming and exquisite na?
He: yes she does, and even our father is very handsome, I want to be like him, with a large moustache, heyyyy it will be fun living our own life na?
She: yes sure, but you will have to wait for a long time for the moutache haan…
He: you know something? We are going to have names, our own exclusive names; I heard mom and dad discussing names for us
She: you are really outdated brother; I have even selected a name for me!!!
He: what? And how did you manage to do that?
She: simple…dad mentioned a few names of his choice one by one… neha, sarayu, meeta…. The moment he said meeta, I kicked mom’s tummy from inside…and immediately heard her saying to dad …..”look she just kicked me when you said meeta, maybe she likes this name, shall we have ‘meeta’?”, and then dad replied “yes sweetheart, meeta it will be…..” so I already have a name you see!!
He: you are real sharp haan, after all you are my sister….he he he
She: yes I am…you know something bro? our parents already love us, I can feel it, I am waiting for them to shower their love on us, and love them back in return, I am so excited…
He: love??? Now what is this new thing…?
She: arre it’s an emotion! The entire world, and life itself, survives, and goes around this unique emotion! Its affection, care, sacrifice, togetherness, and so much more….
He: waitttttt…how do you know all this?
She: while you doze away the entire time sleepyhead, I keep awake, trying to follow what mom reads, so I already know a lot, we women are like that
He: and we men take care of, and protect you, am I right?
She: cool…..now you sound like a sweet brother….my brother! May I ask you a favor now?
He: go ahead dear, ask!
She: when the moment is near for us to be born, I would love you to go out first, that ok with you?
He: sure it is, so I get to be the elder brother…..but what’s special about being the younger child?
She: nothing….I just want to see dad’s face light up when he sees me appear after you, he longs and craves for a daughter do you know that?
He: hmmmm but do you think he will be there at the time of birth?
She: yes….my dad is a courageous man!
He: you mean ‘our’ dad…
She: yes……’our’ dad!

had read it in ibibo b4 if m not wrong ..loved it then , loved it now !!!
This dialogue left me with a smile at the end of it. It is very cute and innocent. You have very nicely brought out the caring, all-knowing attitude of girls and a little laid back and come-what-may attitude of boys. Really nice.
Nice to see a post from you after a long time. Do visit my space sometime.
Wow! a dad quietly delivers a lovely punch through the conversation of twins. And this one turned out quite cute ... glad to see you back again!!
nicely expressed...i felt like this is gossip of my kids :)....enjoyed a lot :), my kids now also used to gossip like this :)
Awww...this is a supercute piece. I honestly liked it so much that I made a friend sitting near me read it. Such a wonderful thought with emotions sprinkled here and there. I simply love your writing style. Wish to read much much more :-D
the ink really flows to say a lot... the twin conversation brought out so many feelings and emotions...
and somewhere, it managed to prove that girls are smarter than boys... hehehehe
The cuteness is dripping from it!!! Super Sweet!!!
