I thought you should know what happened... ;-)
Scene 1, Act 1:
Friend from Office - You know, my mom is so so stubborn. She just refuses to eat healthy food; or anything that we give her.
Me: Oh thats not good :-( Why dont you persuade her more and more till she gets bugged?
FfO - You think we havent tried? Especially after her chemo began, she looks so . The sessions really test your immunity and its so important to remain strong and eat well.
Me - Have you tried blackmailing her?
FfO - What?!!
Me - Yes, blackmail her ;) Tell her you wont eat until she eats what you give her.
FfO - She's not a kid you know. We've tried all, but she'll only eat what she wants.
Me - Hmmmm...... Does she believe in God?
FfO - What do you mean?
Me - No seriously, does she?
FfO - Yes.
Me - Ok here's a plan. Prepare her food (high protein soya soup or something which the doc's told), pack and take it with you to a temple nearby. Come back with teeka on your forehead and all, then give the soya soup (or whatever you've prepared for her) saying its the prasad from temple. Then she wont refuse it. Oh yes, make sure you put some haldi-kumkum on the pack; just to be sure that she believes you ;-)
FfO - Oh! What drama! I thought... well forget it :-))
Me - Hey seriously! Try it!
FfO - LOL.
Scene 2, Act 1:
Me - Do you blog?
FfO - No time.
Me - Which means you are plain lazy...
FfO - My sis does, though.
Me - Great! Whats the url?
FfO - ********.blogspot.com
Me - Hey! She posts such good recipes! Have you tried them ever? (Cuz FiO is really pathetic at cooking and doesnt bother to learn even)
FfO - No, why should I? I've eaten all; she calls me home when she prepares it.
Me - Thats sweet :-)
after a while
Me - Hey, I have an idea!
FfO - Of course. Whats it this this time? Tell me.
Me - You check your sis' blog regularly. And when she posts a recipe that she hasnt told you about or hasnt invited you over to taste it, you try that recipe at home yourself. ;-)
FfO - Huh?
Me - Then you call her home and serve it to her. And when you sis says this she's tried, and starts giving you tips, you disagree vehemently ;-) and tell her its your own recipe, blah blah, fully original, blah blah...
FfO - LOL
Me - Then when she tries to convince you that she really has cooked that dish before and all that, you induce false tears and say that this is what she did all life to you, and at least now she should act mature and let you have credit for what you've done for once etc. LOL and then see the expression on her face ;-)
FfO - Trust you to be the drama queen! LOL
Me - :D Oh but its all in good humour! ;-)
Scene 3, Act 1:
New Friend from Office - I have 2 maids; one to cook and another to clean vessels, the house, etc.
Me - Oh thats good.
NFfO - Yea, but the cook is really good. Sometimes after she's done cooking, she does the dishes herself, though she knows that there's another maid for cleaning. Both come at separate timings. Whats more the cleaning lady doesnt do her job well; the dishes sometimes are oily and have soap stuck on 'em.
Me - Ew! Then why dont you ask the cooking maid to do all other work?
NFfO - And its so expensive to have two maids!!
Me - Then why dont you ask the cooking maid to do all other work??
NFfO - Because my husband doesnt like the same lady for cooking and cleaning. He thinks its dirty.
Me - (realising that some (read most, or all) husbands are hard to please anyway) Tell you what, fire the cleaning maid, and ask the cook to do all work. If your husband asks, tell him they are twins; one cleans and the other cooks. He wouldnt know since both come at different timings! :D
NFfO - :O (after a while) LOL
Me - (wondering what was so funny, and that she should take my advice) ;-)
Scene 3, Act 1:
FfO - Hey what did the doctor say?
(She was referring to my left eye, the one affected by herpes last year)
Me - She said it was healing; and that I should continue the drops and ointment and see her next week.
FfO - And how do you feel about your eye?
Me - Its really healing; I can feel it. No redness, no watery eyes (people dont ask me anymore why am I crying), and very very, very little blurness. The eye has not pained Misty^^ for 4 weeks. All is well.
FfO - Ok.
Me - Err, that was the last 2 lines from the last chapter of Harry Potter's last book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows...
FfO - Ohhhhhh!! Am so sorry to disappoint you, but I didnt get it the first time :P
Me - Tch tch, too bad. Calling yourself Harry Potter fan and all, yet... tch tch...
FfO - Oh please, you do so much of drama, I thought it must yet one of your drama-esque responses to my question!
Me - *wide wide grin*
^^ - my name; not the real one of course, just some random name I adopted just now, to fill in my name!
Act 1, Act 2, Act 3 - All acts are humourous acts!!
All these are chats over IM or in person. My friends say I'm funny. I say, "Am I fun or am I funny?" No, thats not a trick question!! ;-)
