Beeeg beeeg Hand..

My bro is big guy..
So big that his feet sticks outta my bed....
OK..OK.. thatcs a bit of an exaggeration.. fine.
My bros a big guy now..
way back when he was not.. he was one of the most wriggly kid ever.. always doing things to annoy mama, working up all sorts of mischiefs, being and tryin ta be naughty, never doing lessons, ever playing games, ever fighting with me.... Mama used to pull out her hair when it comes to dealing with him.. well she used to pull quite some off his head too..
Well so today i reveal to the world that my mama has always been free with her hands..
To give.. be it anything.. food, clothes, shelter or lashings..
Shes had it all tried on my Bro who never learnt even though..
well it was not that bad.. but ye seen through a 7-8 year old me it was scary..
may be thats why it has left its impact on my weak memory...
k so, me n bro used to always fight.. hitting out at each other and scratching at each other.. but hey i never used to get through without crying for my bro was back then too quite strong.. His blocking with his forearm showed me stars.. even the Alpha Centuri...and few from the Andromeda up quite close..
And my mother used to save me with her usual interference..
As he grew, his bones grew in strength too.. i learnt not to mess with him.. other than through mama..
One day my mother was with bro teaching him something from his lesson..and my bro the squirmy kid that he was, was paying attention to something happening elsewhere.. way more interesting to him than his books..
and ma lost it.. she raised her hand and WHACK...!!!!!
Wow... such a resounding slap that was....
It had caught me bro unawares right on his arm..... and he was sitting there looking at mama in surprise.. no other reaction.. i was watching his face for signs of pain but there was none.. nothing.. He was just staring at mama with a weird helpless expression on his face, for she was doubled up in pain.. Her hand swollen and huge....
Thats how Mama stopped using her hands on him..
God. it came all out on me.. Run for cover.......

I Love my Mama.
