Bellied Up !!!

One reason , I always found consolation in having a fat belly was how my children love to play with it .I would wait for my daughters to do a 20 meter dash and do a head on collision with my bulging stomach followed by bear hugs, as soon as I would get home from work .

My son’s official mode of greeting was boxing my belly and I would pretend to cringe on which he would give me a consoling hug.

Never seemed to have enough of those moments !!!

Now things have changed … It’s a struggle to keep my children from lunging on to my body. I am afraid I might pass on the virus if I am carrying the same as I do venture out to get essentials for home.. Sometimes I lose my patience and try to be scientific with them and explain how and why we need to practice distancing, even at home.. They seem to get it and not , all at the same time . Confused , Un-Hugged and Un-Cuddled but Understanding.

My only prayer is they don’t forget playing with my stomach by the time we are out of this.
