What do you do when...

Your five year old is a big boy now and doesnt want to give his mamma a kichu.
When he wipes a kichu planted by mamma on his cheek off with a ferocity mamma normally reserves for dirt rings around his neck.
When he refuses to cuddle up while sleeping and doesnt want mamma's hand under his head.
When he wants to do everything 'apne aap'. And shoos mamma out of the bathroom when he is bathing.
When he wants mamma to be around only when he needs the DVD player connected to the television.
When he tells you, mamma, you go to office. Why you staying at home? with all the indignation his little body can summon up.
When he wants to do his homework apne aap, and ends up making a mess of it, and refusing to correct it.
When he asks you, Mamma you will die? In all seriousness. And mamma wonders where that came from. And hastens to reassure him that he's stuck with her for a long long time.
And when he sleeps at night, ensuring he's sleeping apne aap, mamma feels her heart welling up and spilling over at this forced big boyness.
And smiles when he reaches out in his sleep and nestles in closer.
