Was talking to my sister yesterday by which I mean SMSing! That’s how we communicate, the moment she messages me saying “R U free”; I know it’s a confession or something that important and urgent.  

The girl, as I know and will always be my child, just 5yrs younger, just going to turn 20, I still see her as a kid who needs to be guarded / protected / taught, I know its ridiculous but, I’ve fed her, bathed, clothed her and I’ve lost sleep for her when she was not well and there is no other possible way I could see her!

She texts me saying that one of her very close friend, a collage mate, who I also happen to know, declared that she has been out with her BF and had spent a night with him and is now afraid of what is going to happen next, because of the ”night” she spent with him. My sister; being her very close trusted one dint know whom to ask and messaged me.  

So instead of suggesting an iPill or asking her friend to talk to her family members or doing something more sane; my frantic “you.are.suppose.to.protect.her” instinct hit the panic button and I replied “All that is fine, what about you, do you have anything going on recently?” for which the little (I thought so!!) one replies “See this is the problem with old people, they leave the issue behind and start thinking something stupid, I am feeling a gen gap appu”! WAS I SHOCKED? I literally chocked and was walking my way up to the corridor to catch some oxygen. When did 5yrs difference become a GENERATION GAP???  

I am freaking out… already! What am I going to do with my kids??   HAAAAAAAAAALLLLP!!! 

with this feeling weird post I leave a beautiful song for you all (as if i get a 1000 hits a day, nevermind)…. It has no relevance to this post, except that the word yesterday :)
