How were YOU born?
It’s always
been a matter of immense interest and curiosity for kids that how they came
into existence, how they met their parents or how did they find them. Kids
inquire about such kind of questions a lot in their childhood and in fact, each
of us has asked this question. In countries like Pakistan where parents are not
very open and do not unfold such matters and discussions with their children. They
just dodge telling any kind of such stuff and forge a story to answer child’s
question. Today I am going to explore some of the funny stories which had told
their kids to end any further discussion. If you are a 90’s kid then you will,
for sure, find it identifiable.
1.
We bought you from a store:
This is my story. When I was young, my mother said we bought you guys for millions of rupees. And when I was 10 and my younger sister was 7, we asked her
to bring another baby, then she replied ‘’we can’t, we don’t have millions of
rupees now, because you guys are spendthrift and waste a lot of money and I am
unable to save such a big denomination. I had money earlier, so I bought you
guy...’’
2. An Angel delivered you:
·
Case 1:
One
fine morning, an angel dropped by and delivered you, on our doorsteps, in a
hamper full of roses. So we picked you up.
·
Case 2:
One
mother told her kids that she was praying one day and was asking Allah to give
her a child. Then an angel arrived and dropped you in my lap.
3. We were actually catching fish:
One of my friends told me that her parents stated that,
one day, they were out for boating. They put their net in water to catch fish
and when they pulled it back, babies were in the meshes, so they took them.
4. We made you from play-doh:
Another story is, parents told their kids that they
were playing with play-dough. They made a toy and that toy then became a baby
so they kept that baby happily.
5. We have to order at hospital:
Another story which I came across is, we have to go to
a hospital. They register us and give us a no. and we have to wait in a queue,
on our turn they just hand over a baby.
6. You came from Heavens:
One of our relatives told their children that Allah had
sent them all the way from Heavens in a basket full of flowers.
Don’t worry, a
kid of 21st knows everything and won’t be convinced by such tales of
yours. But that doesn’t mean that parents told them. Pakistani parents are
still awkward at dealing with this kind of stuff. Anyhow these crazy and silly
lies of our parents are quite funny. If you are a 90’s kid, then you might have
had heard this kind of stories. If you had any other tale, then do tell me. I would
love to add that in my blog.
