A Whimsical Medley – Is my theme for the A to Z Challenge !! Hope you smile today 🙂
*****************
I am pretty sure my Mom has no idea what I do for a living. All she knows is I sit on my bum all day long, furiously hitting the keyboard, pulling my hair once in a while. Which means all her motherly advice is related to how I should walk more, drink more water, carry dry fruits … breath etc etc.
And if someone asks her, I have taught her just enough words to make others understand – Software, Java, Coding!! Although I am pretty sure she might not even remember those words. And if the other person is a parent of someone in similar occupation, then both of them would get together complaining how their kids are sitting with their laptops, day in and day out, refusing to even fetch a glass of water … constantly staring at the Dabba Machine.

My Mom can be so cute at times. I had a hilarious time trying to make her pronounce Cognizant, the name of my first employer. With her strong Assamese accent, the words would hardly come out the way it should. She was so glad when I switched to a company with simpler name 😛
Along with Claire, Parul and Shalini we have formed an Unconventional Alliance with A to Z co-host Pam Margolis as the ring leader … all set to rock the party.

So true…moms will be moms…loved reading you post! I've come across your other post which also talks about the Assamese accent. 🙂
Ha Ha that is funny
I had a similar incident
My grandmother and I were watching TV and there was something about Bill gates. I told her he is the richest man in the world ( 10 years ago) .
She asked me what does he do for a living
I said computers
She paused for a while and asked if he had children.
'One girl' I said ( more than 10 years ago)
She paused again and then said
'mmm .. will get her married off in well to do family i guess'…
haha ya moms are like that! 😀 would love to meet yours one day!
LOL! Mothers are just awesome… esp when they are behind us to make us do something.
