Carefully picked from my mum's repository. My reactions to all these would vary from defiant stare to tearful sob to indifferent eye-roll.
- I think we got the wrong baby home from the hospital.
- Did I bring you up to think and act like THIS?
- Where did I go wrong with you?
- Why of all the girls in the world are only YOU like this?
- I think this is God’s way of testing me.
- I need strength.
- No sane mother will put up with all this.
- May be I did a lot of paavam in my previous jhanmam.
- You are old enough. You are not a child anymore.
- Look at your hair.
- Are you going out wearing THAT???
- Did you look at the mirror?
- You need more clothes?? No, seriously?
- Don’t you have anything else to wear? (the answer will trigger the previous line. Vicious circle)
- I don’t get it. I just don’t get it. Tell me again. Why?
- Are you mad? You need to meet a shrink.
But her favourit-est one, whatever said and done:
I have the best daughter in the whole world!!!! :D
Aww. Love you ma :-)

Awesome post Gita! ARE YOU A THIEF? you are stealing our feelings and wrapping 'em up in a blogpost! Good Job...
Nice one :) I think every mother of a daughter feels and says all those things at some point of time! And my reaction is always an indifferent eye roll... coz I know she'll come to that last and best words eventually :P
Awesome!!!! XD XD Super like!! XD XD
@ Soham- That's mighty rich, coming from you- Thanks :D
@ Ishwarya- Lol, yeah. Im thinking, another twenty years and how it would feel from the other side of the fence ;)
@ Akshaya- heh heh, I kNEW you'd say that ;)
Seems like most mom's have a common pool of one liners which they use. Must be the damn tv serials ! ;)
PS
Super Like ! Simple, yet brilliantly composed :D
Ah. Mothers. But for the things they put up with, they should probably be knighted. Or given sainthood, considering I can be one hell of a problem child.
Moms are awesome. :) Great post.
