I had invited T’s friends from the daycare and their mothers
for tea yesterday. It is a group of 4 kids out of which there are twin brother
and sister and another boy who goes to the same school as T does. They came at
about 6 pm and were there for 2 hours and the ruckus they created together was
beyond my imagination.
T was on a different plane altogether. He was screaming,
shouting, fighting just like the other three. They were oblivious to the
surrounding or to our presence. They did not have hunger or thirst and the only
thing on their mind was just to make the most of this “extra” time together. They
had spent close to 5 hours together in the daycare and this time at my place
was a bonus for them.
The kids mothers were very surprised to see my house spic
and span with no trace of any toys spread across the rooms. I gave the whole
credit to my maid who meticulously does the sweeping, mopping and dusting. She spends
an hour in my house and does everything as if she is cleaning her own house. I also treat her as my family member so the trust and love is mutual. The
mothers were amazed at such a maid and said you are lucky. Yes, I indeed am!
I had ordered donuts, vegetable puffs and tea cakes for all
of us and made tea for them. The kids had bought out all the stuff which was
placed nicely in the corner and which did not see the daylight for days
together. T usually doesn’t play with toys on the weekdays as it is a jam
packed routine for him. Sometime on weekend when he feels like he pulls out
some toy plays with it and gets on to next thing. So those toys at least were brought
out by the kids and what a mess they created with it! I was dumbstruck. The kids
don’t like to see anything organized, which is their nature I think. Vibrant,
vivacious and spontaneous. Once everything is tossed away and looks like shabby, they move on to their next target.
The kids had a gala time and did not want to go home. Their mothers
asked to clean the stuff and they all did clean the toys together. We went to
see them off at the gate and T wanted to go to one of their house to play. As if
playing the whole day in the daycare and then at my house was not enough. They can
go on for 24 hours also, without getting tired or bored. They never want their
friends to leave. They like to be lost in their own world of fights, talks and
innocence. I wish T has lot of friends to share all the things in his life. Let
he be blessed with thick and close friends in all the walks of life just like I
was blessed!
I can imagine the fun both the kids and moms would have had during this bacha party! I can say from my perspective, there's hardly any joy greater than having happy kids creating ruckus. Of course the post party clean up does seem nightmarish but then you are a lucky woman with a great maid :-)
