Because when you’re a parent you can’t say ‘There’s no more place on the bed”. Even if you’ve been pushed to the corner and are hanging on by your fingernails.
At last count, the OA and I were sitting on the floor and the bed was taken over by Spiderman, and 7 of the Bean’s ‘babies.’ Oh – the flavour of the day is a Koala bear called Cuddly. I think after the Bean broke her heart over the Lumpy episode she decided not to make the mistake of loving someone too much.
PS: Still begging you guys to vote for me here. I have only 60 votes in the face of those who have close to a 100. Please do take some time out. I know its a painful process but I’d really appreciate it. I’d love a nice new phone on which I can check my mail. My new 4 hour commute is a killer so I’m hoping to get some work done on the way.
ooh, that line just broke MY heart..
“…after the Bean broke her heart over the Lumpy episode she decided not to make the mistake of loving someone too much.”
i’m a meanie like that. i love to make you guys cry 😉
I agree with Sup. It broke my heart too.
You’re a Meena Kumari yourself and mean to us, Ze Madness!
Seriously u are mean!
Btw is one of them lumpy? i hope he still gets at least one day as the fav one!
yep. he’s under the pile. but i put him there when she brought the rest in. i was feeling bad for him *looks sheepish*
the daughter got over a toy, the mother can’t 😀
If the bean is four, you are two 😀
and you claim to be mean 😛
Voted voted…and at least this happens to you with two kids who are nearly 6 and nearly 4…how about a single R who just turned two and managed to push both her parents down the king sized bed so that she could sleep with her bum up sprawled at the middle of the bed :):)
LOL! well yes – that happens all the time. even with one kid. they just go across the bed and kick one in the head and head butt the other.
Sorry MM, its not accepting my vote since my blog is still awaiting approval…will definitely vote once the approval has come through 🙂
thank you. i shall wait. patience is the mother of all virtues. i often wonder what the father of all virtues is.
Done done 🙂
father of all virtues??? motherhood???
10 occupants already. Add to them Tambi’s baby(s) when they all move to Delhi, along with the baby’s Noddy/Winnie/Spidey/teddy etc. You might want to make use of the sale at Plaza Mall and buy some more beds 😉
Psst, Plaza is not to far from my place. *wink wink*
How’s the knee?
stop winking. you were supposed to take me out for tiramisu. what happened, huh? you wanna join the kids at sea in an oarless boat, stuck with Dipta and some sharks?
no no! I was waiting for SMM to get back from Cal. She’s a fellow tiramisu-lover 🙂
she’s back. find a more plausible excuse. its okay. i understand. i am old. i am lame (in more ways than one). i am no fun. i get it. i get it.
*wipes tears*
she is? You’re what? Jai Tiramisu! Lovely weather for some pakodas too. No?
SMM, trin trining rightaway
So So so? Did SMM call? FIxed? See. Your tears fought my laziness away! 😛
LOL!
So reminds me of Shirley Hughes’ ‘Dogger’ 🙂
So cute:)
Btw MM, that spiderman on the bed looks a bit scary .. I would have freaked out if I had seen it live.. 🙂
“…after the Bean broke her heart over the Lumpy episode she decided not to make the mistake of loving someone too much”
You’re my soul sistah, Beanie! But don’t stay like that. You’ll find a forever-true-love someday, honey. And MM’s always there, even if she loves you a little less than Tambi 😛
Wow!!B&B Rock!!
Atleast they are both on the bed!!
Cant say the same for my kids who tend to roll off and land with a big thump!!
No amount of pillows/toys/barricades do the trick, so I now dump them on mattresses on the floor.
And yet, they roll off it too 😦
Indiblogger guys haven’t approved my blog yet 😐 Will vote as soon as they do.
And oh, even before I read this post I had this huge smile on my face looking at the pic. Heffalump is back! So what if he’s got to share the love with other babies. We don’t mind sharing. And it’s good that Beanie has learnt not to love someone too much, so early. It’s hard when you have to learn that when you are older.

Awww. Aww. 🙂
Oh! And I voted for you 🙂 Hope you get that blackberry.
Would love to vote…but am not a blogger 😦 Why this Apathy ???? i really wish you get the blackberry…
Can’t access Indiblogger. Still. Will give it one more try!
I see Lumpy, even if he is sort of bottom of the pile.There is another elephant in the pack too? That Spiderman is konjam scary. I would die if I bumped into that almost lifesize thing in a dark hallway 🙂
Here’s to the Button joining the babies (I know you haven’t named the Tambi baby yet, this is my interim suggestion :)).
The BFF is expecting a baby in February and I can’t wait (almost petitioned her to come back to India, but since there is a teeny chance I might join her there, I am holding out from the petitioning for a bit) – can imagine what your levels of excitement must be like! 🙂
wha? you’re going to move abroad? waaaaahhhh.. don’t go 😦
you’re telling me its scary?!
the brat sat him on his own motorbike and left him at the nursery door. i walked in to the room and shrieked in pure terror. almost killed the poor brat. reminded me of that awful scene in I Am Legend
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! I want to come and give the teenie beanie and the smartie brattie a big hug! I am THIS close to baby talk now 😛
hey MM, I tried number of times to promote the post…but it says ” No active blogs in your profile” … 😦
I really want you to win the phone …sachi

Voted. That Spidey scared me just in the pic…how does it make for a peaceful sleep??!!
ask that weird child i gave birth to. he loves it. drags it behind him all day.
Voted 🙂
Did I miss something? Why did the Bean break her heart over Lumpy? I thought she just got bored of it.
And the Spiderman is awesome 😉
Here’s hoping you win the Blackberry!!!!!
Imagine what will happen once she grows up and starts dating! 😀
*Runs away quick*
Blog got approved. And voted 😀
Okay, registered but cannot find a way to vote??? Do “they” need to approve me before I vote?
Hey i tried to vote but it tells me i have to have a blog which i dont sorry 😦
tried to vote but it says i am not a member. member of what???

cheers!
babe i havent bought them anything in three years other than educational toys for birthdays. this is from the super indulgent chhota nani and nana. let this be a lesson to all of you. this is how people go nuts when they become grandparents at 38
lets just tell them to adopt our family as well? we can call em great grand parents also if they want! 😉
cheers!
ok now its 126 or 127 I may have voted twice? Happy? :-p
Signed up and then voted. Happy? 🙂
I know, I know..will be truly happy only after you win 😉
Is there any possibility of repeated votes? fraud votes? poll rigging? “Kalla” vote as they say in tamil?
LOL! I doubt it. not when they are checking the url no?
Hey MM…indiblogger hasnt’ approved my blog as yet!! All the best…my vote is any day for you..
