I am just kidding...

I was at a supermarket a recent while ago. I saw the usual parents who had brought their toddlers along with them. My attention was directed towards two cute little guys. They must have been a year old, barely able to walk, swinging to and fro and walking towards each other. Their parents were totally unaware of these two fellas acquainting with themselves, while they were shopping all to themselves. I was just a mute spectator to the sight - two cute little kids, sort of shaking hands and messing each other's hair. No wonder that we all adore little kids and their antics. With nothing to do, I was wondering what those two could have been discussing about and how different it might be if two adults were to introduce themselves instead of these two kids. Especially if these kids are full of angst.


Kid1 : Hey dude, you are looking cool.

Kid2 : So do you. But what is that you are wearing on your wrists and arms?

Kid1 : Don't you even get me started on that man. I am a guy and my mom insists on making me wear these bangles. I have been crying all day to have her remove this and she has got no freakin clue about what I am pissed off. Whenever I cry she disappears only to return with a gooey yellowish liquid-paste and tries to feed that to me. That's insane!

Kid2 : What? And you are a guy! Hope you do not get confused when you grow up. *smirk* But even I do not understand the shit that is called a diaper. I mean, we must go and kill the guy who invented it. Why would any of us want to remain rooted in our shit? It was so much easier to take a dump/leak wherever/whenever we wanted to.

Kid1 : Yeah, you are right. But atleast the diaper thing, you can gesture to your mom by patting your butt and have it removed. But, what's the thing with people pinching my cheeks? Do they think we enjoy our cheeks to be manhandled by rough hands?

Kid2 : Yeah, I hate that too. Even that is harmless compared to what I have to undergo. One of my uncles think he is diplaying his machismo by throwing me up and catching me in mid air. I feel like throwing up whatever I had when he does that. If he really wants to be the macho guy, then he must throw and catch his fat wife and still remain alive.

Kid1 : Exactly. My dad thinks it is very cool on his part to make me sit on his neck and walk me around. My god, whats with these adults and their altitudes? I think I suffer from vertigo already.

Kid2 : Oh, you poor thing. I must also voice aginst those who indulge in tickling me. I just hate all and sundry tickling my baby fat. They must have a law against that. It's just not done man, it's just not done.

Kid1 : Hey, I can see someone coming. They might take us and press our cheeks all over again. Pretend to sleep when they lift you.

Kid2 : I agree. But I am terribly bored of sleeping all day. Especially when I act like sleeping to avoid them and eventually fall asleep. It is a big bore. But it was nice talking to you man.

Kid1 : Yeah, same goes to you. See ya.

Kid2 : Yeah. Good bye.

*Mutual Hand shakes*



P.S. : This was based on a conversation I had with a friend of mine. But when I saw those kids at the supermarket, this conversation came to my mind. As you would have guessed it, this post-script is to appease my friend and share some credit.
