When we were kids we wanted so many things to go our way. I have a quick list of things, I wanted to be by my side; things I wanted to happen + implement; and People I wanted to evade:
1. I wanted 'Santa' for myself
I used to guffaw, why Santa goes on giving gifts to the kids, when he knows that some kids never deserved it. So, I use to wonder, maybe I will help him realize who to consider and whom to not. Maybe after the Santa comes and stays with me my teachers, classmates, friends etc would get more impressed and favor me :)
2. I wanted my Maths teacher to vanish, or I wanted somebody who would kidnap her and never send her back 2 school.
No, there is no similarity...but I always dreaded maths and my maths teacher coz she was so strict and I understood nothing when there was numbers. I had to sit quiet in the class, evading every glance of her. I waited, used to pray that she does not make out that I was understanding nothing out of those venomous numbers, alzebra, all kind of computations....Thank you lord, for I am out of it!
3. I wanted a house of chocolate for myself. (I still want)
Something close to this :) :) (no explanation required i believe) ;)
4. I wanted to meet Tom and Jerry.
I used to find Tom and Jerry to be stars of Television. Jerry- intelligent and cute and I felt sorry for Tom sometimes...So I wanted to see & meet them.
5. Home alone: For all the restrictions imposed that as a kid ur not supposed to go anywhere...or do whatever u wish, trust me, I wanted my parents to go on a long holiday..leaving me behind and I would emerge like 'the home alone' kid..superrrkid !
