Disillusionment

 

Bud: "Amma, why are you lying on the sofa.., i am afraid that you will roll down.."

<< Amma had dozed off trying hard to overcome a reader's block >>

Amma:"No baby, big objects don't roll easily"

Bud:" I am worried, Amma, please shift to the bed"

<< Amma stood perplexed.. Seeing that level of emotional quotient in her eight-year-old made her motherhood to waltz >>

Bud continued :" We took hours to put up this castle that you see on the floor, Amma - if you roll down, a hand or a leg of yours is going to bring damage to it, so please Amma, shift to the bed ".

Amma was quick in swallowing the lump in the throat and picking up the book again to work on the reader's block

PS: Adding a photo for attention - the dwindling readership is indeed a cause of worry
