Ego Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Ego

Rating: 5.0


My grandson and my granddaughter,
quarrelsome!
Always passing indecent remarks on each other,
I am now fed-up of their uncalled fights.
They will never improve their behavior,
I am frustrated.
But just now I saw something else,
Their cousins came at our house,
the children started playing cricket,
my four grandchildren played as a team
the rivals were also four,
umpire was taken from the batting side,
I was sitting behind the bowler,
While my granddaughter was bating,
and she was just in front of the stumps,
a low ball hit her right leg,
keep it in your minds she is a right hander,
the bowler appealed for lbw,
my grandson shouted, "Not out."
Fortunately or unfortunately,
they did not have action replay facility,
a quarrel started between two sides,
cousin of my granddaughter used abusive language
against her.
My grandson became so much rash!
I haven't seen him earlier.
"How dare you to use abusive language
against my sister.
I repeat,
AGAINST MY SISTER.

Thank you for sharing about your family. This may just be the turning point for him to grow out of using that type of language against his sister.

Blood is thicker than water! Direct sister is preferred to a cousin sister! However quarrelsome, when a common enemy comes in between, the brother and sister stay together! Yes, it is interesting to watch children play as well as quarrel....!
