I am such a sadist sometimes. I hate to admit this, but I am.
In my three and a half years as a mum, I’ve done countless things to my kids. Not in secret, mind you. I’m more honorable than that. Most of the time, I blog about them and share them with my readers and friends. It’s nothing to be ashamed of because I am pretty sure I am not the only sadist around, and some other sadist mums who ran out of ideas can take reference from me somehow.
When Baby Joey was still a pretty small little baby, there was once she flew into a huge rage (reason unknown to me) and started screaming at the top of her lungs. The very first thing I did was what every creative mummy would do – I ran into my bedroom, grabbed my camera and took a video of her, then proceeded to replay it 10 times so that I may laugh over it, before starting to pacify her.
And of course, I’m sure you’ve caught some of those wonderful photos I’ve taken of the poo of my kids. All taken in real-time, I promise ya, right after the act was completed. I was in no rush to clean their backsides, as you can tell. All in the name of delivering fresh (pun intended) information to all you dear readers.
Those were the stuffs I would do.
When Baby Jayne was smaller and therefore lighter, I fling her into the air, make her do triple forward somersaults and 2-and-a-half back flips just to entertain me. These were taken during the half-time rest on my knees after a full 45-min session of flinging & somersaulting:
Not very happy with me, obviously.
Now that she’s slightly older and heavier, I forsook those stunts and started going into the arena of teasing her when she gets all fussy & whiney. Provided I was in a good mood, of course.
The sadist mum did this one fine day when she was whining to be carried:
Lying 45 degrees head-down on my legs.
(alright, not exactly 45 degrees, but you get the idea. Head was lower than her buttocks).
As expected, she was momentarily shocked by the change in orientation and direction, but gained her composure almost immediately and went back to her whining.
Legs kept kicking and kicking in the air. It was one fine sight.
‘LET ME GET UP!!!!!!!’
‘NOWWWWWWWW!!!!!’
Trust me, as her mum, I know better than anyone else what she’s saying.
Having a baby makes for so much fun in life. :)
