Cashing In…

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

For the past ten years, I have been the master of emotional blackmailing, specially with my Mom. Be it Eid, or Ramzan, my birthday or any other occasion, I know how to get my way. So it’s only natural that my Mom would learn something from me after all this time under my supervision.

It was her birthday two days ago and she had to go to a valima.

Mom to sister: “Rida, meray kapray istari (iron) kar do warna mujhay karnay parein ge. Aaj meri birthday hai!”

Obviously, sis wouldn’t want dear mommy feeling bad on her b-day. Mom easily cashed in the occasion.

Now me being the master of such stuff, how do I cash in? My Mom’s birthday, that is.

Easy money! :D

“Rida, meray kapray istari kar do, warna ammi ko karnay parein ge. Aaj un ki birthday hai!”
