"Mom! I am home!"
"You look so relieved.... Has your holidays started already?"
"Yep, mom. Everybody was asking me where we'd be going this time... Are we going to papa's place?"
"Well, Liz, I frankly don't know.... Why don't you ask your dad?"
My mom and dad were the perfect parents and couple..... They told me one day that they couldn't stand each other any longer..... They had to have independence.... So, one day I found myself in the court with the judge asking me one question: "Whom do you want to live with? Mom... or dad?.... I could only manage an innocent "both". And the verdict? Weekdays with mom and weekends with dad... It was another thing that they had had a love- marriage against their parent's wishes... I had never been to my mother's place... They have still not forgiven my mom for marrying my dad... But that's an old story now... So beaming with my new idea I asked mom as a matter of factly.. "Well, mom, what if we go to your place this summer? We have never been there and I would like it too..." I could see mom was pondering over my suggestion. "Well, darling, I can't promise anything... But maybe..." And lo! The phone rang and my mom was off to work.....
