We always talk
about the busy and industrious moms, who work day in and out. 365 days a year.
However the daddies of the world are equally incredible! No one talks of their
hard work. Call them breadwinners, head of the family or finance minister (as I
do) they too are equally integral part of the family.
I have been
instilling the virtue of hard work on to my little one, by holding up her daddy
as an example. Thus this weekend when we were all home, Smera decided to
take matters in her hands, I mean on daddy’s foot. Drawing inspiration from
mummy’s visit to the beautician’s her artistic skills were woken up. Without
wasting anytime out came the nail polish in ElePhantastic Pink. With an amazing
dexterity to match an accomplished painter, she covered both the toes in no
time.

But there was a
catch, the daddy was asleep when all this was happening, so he was in for a
real shock when got up see the color pop pink on his toes. And to his bad luck
there was no nail polish remover at home. I somehow managed to convince him
forget it and anyway no one was going to know as he always wear shoes and
socks.
Life wouldn't
have been so interesting if all his problems were to end there. Shortly after
this incident was forgotten about, few friends dropped for tea. After a few
minutes in the discussing the day’s match suddenly everyone’s gaze shifted on
to hubby’s shiny toes. The rest of the evening was spent laughing at daddy’s
new pedicured toe nails and Smera accepting accepting booking from her aunts
for their next pedicure appointments.
