Kids' Galaxy

A house without kids is like a graveyard where there is silence and same environment all the time. The kids do whatever they like from wearing wrong & elders' shoes, lifting one thing & placing it right in the center of courtyard else, playing with dust and dirt, making balloons to fly in the air and running after them, asking parents hundred times in a day for sweets to what not and what not.
No one can predicts when and what the kids will ask from you and sometimes even parents find themselves in a difficult position to answer their innocent & tough questions.
My daughter, Tasneem, once asked me where does Allah live?
And when does Day of Judgment come?
I was speechless and helpless and I could not satisfy her curiosity with all my intellect and information.
The kids have sharp memory and they never forget their demands and will often remind you when you did not get them something eatables, (if you have already promised them at some earlier time.)

One thing I forgot to mention that the kids insist on wearing their favorite clothes regardless of season and they are the moody 'creature' of all times.
They are the center of attention & attraction for everybody in the house.

They replicate love and affection whoever picks and pamper them.
They are true reflector of love and passion. Their stammering voices and falling and rising again in yard make our galaxy of happiness brighter and beautiful .They are the real stars of our world and they genuinely impart objectivity to our life.
