Second child

Mom and i, were getting ready to go to my aunt’s house. Dad wasn’t home as he went to buy groceries. I had a sudden argument with mom, about my parents treating me unfair, compared to my elder brother.

“You think any mother would treat her kids differently? One fair and one unfair? Never! All kids are equal to a mother. I don’t know why you are talking rubbish” bursted my mom.

We left our home on bike (Keep it in mind that we won’t be home for two more days and that our refrigerator wasn’t working for the entire week). On our way, we stopped at the shop where my dad was buying groceries, to say ‘bye’ to him. He came out just then with a bag of groceries. He took out a huge family pack ice cream and asked my mom “he’ll eat it right?”, meaning their precious first son. ” Will he like this brand? Well, I got his favourite flavour (which is my favourite too, people! But yeah of course my dad wouldn’t know and that’s so NORMAL) so he’ll eat it anyway “he said with a huge smile.

Even if he bought it with a thought of me too, like I said before,we won’t be home for two whole days and our refrigerator wasn’t working! So th ice cream can’t wait for me. In addition to all these, my dad does know this all very well.

The entire time dad was speaking, I stood in between both my parents and starred at them each in disbelief, with an ‘I exist too! ‘ kind of expression. And my mom was making eye movements to my dad with an awkward smile, as if to say “We have two sons, remember! The youngest is right here! Come on, ask her too…! “

My dad, after a while, processing mom’s reaction in his brain……. “Oh! You want it too, right! “

Hence proved “UNFAIR! “
