My son is a gentleman.

Today i saw the most amazing and cutest thing ever.

Its a really hot summer here in Kolkata, and it was afternoon, and Micro was gasping, as usual. I dont know why she wouldnt just go have some water. i have seen her sit in the water bowl once...

So i decided to give them a piece of watermelon each, so they both feel a bit better. Micro gobbled up her piece in like, one second. SO i was like, should i get some more for her? And then the cutest thing... Pip saw that her watermelon was over. So he said "cluck cluck" and she said "cluck cluck" and they exchanged places so she could have his piece of watermelon. He always does that! He always lets her eat the good parts, and lets her finish and then he eats. 

Men should be like him. Gentlemen. Chivalrous.

I'm a good mommy.

I think I'll be a good mother...when I do become a mother to human babies. But you know, like how people get pets first when they aren't really sure if they can be good parents, so they try it out with animals first...its something of that sort. Although when you come to think of it, human babies and animal babies, even though very much alike, are quite different too.

Like Micro and Pip for example. I took care of them and still do, like a mother would. Fed them baby food from my fingers when they first came home. Kept them warm. Bathed them (disaster). And even today, i feed them, change their water, clean up their house and whatnot. I so desperately need a holiday right now, but i cant even leave them for a day to go somewhere.  But on the contrary, i never have to worry about disciplining them, their school, homeworks and all that.

So you see, a pet is like a baby. But a baby is not like a pet.

But unlike human babies, these two chickens of mine are super duper happy when they see me. Everyday. Everytime. They jump up and down and go all chuck-cluck-puck.  Now how many humans do that, huh?
