I have no idea why people do that,but do you expect kids to remain like toddlers their whole life? Of course we grow up!

2. ” You once peed on my lap when you were a baby”
*awkward* Atleast there was something I did right!


All the embarrassing stories of you rolling on your shit, licking the floor comes up and you just stand there faking a smile on your face,hoping it all ends soon.

3. “You’ve grown so fat since the last time we saw you”
Oh really? So have you!


Well, what can we say? Our mother’s actually feed us proper food and we have money to eat so guess what aunty? It’s none of your business.

Indian parents can never curb their urge of boasting their children in front of others. Don’t they realize how embarrassing it is?

5. “My son got admission in IIT, what are you going to do after 12th?”
PARTYYYYY!


Do you really think we care what your nerdy son does?

6. “Why are you buying him a mobile phone now? Our son got it after he joined college only”
Not my fault if your son lives in the 19th century


Not that getting your parents approval is hard enough, the relatives do an excellent job of meddling with their brains and spoiling all your efforts of buttering them.

To run from here as fast as possible.


The epic questions always comes up and leaves us dumbstruck, because we have no freaking idea about the future.

What’s your point aunty?


Even if you talk about buying vegetables, they’ll counter attack by saying they bought fruits. That’s what jealousy sounds like!
