World's best mother !

It is Friday morning, post the Navarathri holidays and Gandhi Jayanti. The lunchbox is packed, kiddo is woken up. He hesitatingly gets ready, ofcourse, you understand it is difficult after 2 weeks of holidays. He puts on a brave face and leaves with his dad. They see a spot closer to the school that was available to park the car - very unusual, they silently think to themselves. They walk towards the school and notice the gates are closed. They still think it is just not opened yet because they went in too early. Then, they call me up, asking me if there was a change of date for reopening date. I firmly said no, absolutely 100% sure it was reopening on 3rd. Kiddo proceeds to open up his school diary, just to spot the calendar clearly calling out that the school reopened on a Monday, 6th ! We all had a good laugh about it and we had a nice day at home and 3 extra days of holidays. It ended up being a bonus of sorts, unknowingly. Do I feel bad that I am that mother who does not notice these things about child's school ? Yes, maybe for a momement. But then, all of us at home were equally responsible for this miss. I still am the world's best mother, atleast to my son. These instances are all reminders for us not to take life so seriously. Some small moments like these are a lifetime of memories and will make all of us smile each time we remember it. This is also a reminder that we don't have to have it all and always be perfect and not miss a beat. I do remind myself - it is okay!
