Mom: “It is okay Tanay, tomorrow is your dad’s birthday.
We will plan something for his birthday.
You know he loves you. He is just worried about you. That’s all.”
Me: “But Mom, Dad never celebrates his Birthday! Remember how he sent his friends and colleagues away when we planned for a surprise last year?
I do not know why he does not celebrate his birthday. All those people really felt bad. He could have at least thanked them for coming!
I am not sure if he would like it this time either and I am not going to go through another round of quarrel with him!”
Mom: “Let us not call anybody home tomorrow. We will bake a special cake for him before he comes home from work. Sounds Fun?
And I am sure this time he might not do something like that…”
Me: “Fine! As long as it changes his mood and gets me my keys back! Love you Mom. Thank you for being there.”
