Personality

Personality (m-w.com) "the complex of characteristics that distinguishes an individual or a nation or group; especially : the totality of an individual's behavioral and emotional characteristics b : a set of distinctive traits and characteristic"

It makes me think - do I have a "personality"?

Every time I sense that someone is leaving the house without me, I get a panic attack and run around the house, reach the door and dont let it go. Does it mean I am "insecure" ?

As soon as I come back form the day care, I just want to hang out with mom and dad - and nothing else. Does it mean I am "clinging"?


I like if my other friends touch and see my toys, but they definitely cant take it home. Does it mean I am "possessive"?


I say hi to every one on the street and love making new friends (just guys to be precise). Does it mean I am "friendly"?


I love jumping on the sofa, and especially when mom is sitting in the corner and I  accidentally (read repeatedly) jump on her. Does that mean I am " aggressive"?


I love super heroes - super man and his dog, Spider man and his web, Bat man and his accessories, under- woman (read wonder woman) and his attire. Does that mean I am into "super heroes"? - My teacher at school says I am a silly boy. Hello!!! Practicing different stunt positions is not being silly - its called being - PREPARED! Its a rough world, you know!


Above all I love milk. Day, night, evening, afternoon, dawn, dusk - any time of the day. Does that mean I am a "cow"?


Yikes!!!!



Hi Mamma!!

Hi Mamma ..

I miss you mamma... I'm at home with granny while I'm writing you this letter and you are somewhere naani calls "aaffice".. What is this place you go to everyday Mamma?

Mamma, I wanna tell you what I do at home while you nanna are away... do you have sometime to read it, mamma?

Scene 1:

its still dark outside, but I know I've been sleeping for pretty long now . I look sideways and hear naani in her sleep (whats that sound called mamma?) ... I tap her gently, no luck! I called her "NAANI", nope!! "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" - Ok there she is!! "I waa miwk.. ".. Naani gives me her standard response "Sleep, chinni!"..Take 2 "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA""...
Naani turns on the light in the kitchen and shes back with a nice cup of milk in 2 mins... Naaaicee! ;) ;)

Scene 2:

Its kindda bright outside .. Naani's still sleeping, hmm!!! Tight punch on naani's nose !! There she's moving .. Lets move it, Naaniiiiiii!!

I get out of my room (Technically its NOT even my room, my stuff only occupies like 15% of the room - the rest is filled with naanis stuff, your junk and I dont know what else!) ... and go straight to your room, mamma!
Hey, you are gone :-( I ask Naani "Wherez mamma?" - Naani "aafiice" "Wherez nanna?" Naani "aafiice"...
I think to myself - Oh crap, I let them go easily today too, no crying, no tantrums, no silly requests for M&Ms and Jam in the morning.. .I gotto buck up !

Scene 3:

About an hour from when I wake up, I'm watching Curious George or Dinosaur Train or Tom & Jerry or Dora or Cat in the Hat or ... (i've lost track!).. Naaaniiiiiii .. I wan Toast, I wan Dham (read Jam)...
Naani runs into the kitchen, gets some toast, jam, pickle (PICKLE?!) and comes back to me!

The rest couple of hours are really some TV, bath, playing with Naani (i.e., hitting her with the ball, making her run behind me, crying for silly things that I dont need!)

Scene 4:
Did I hear the car? Did I hear you guys chatting in the hall way? Did you KNOCK?

Hey , ITS YOU GUYS !! Its my second favorite part of the day! (yes, 2nd!) I see you have come in first mamma, where'z nanna? I know, I know, i gotto hug you first, give you a kiss... but where is NANNA? Ok, phew! There he is... "hey, nanna!"

Running around the house, jumping from sofa to ottoman, ottoman to sofa, sofa to ottoman, ottoman to sofa (ya i can keep going),

I missed you mamma, now that you are back - ill tell you the rest of the story in  my own words.

Over n out

Ahaan.
