the sins of the father falls on the child ...

living with parents who are no longer treating each other with love and respect is indeed suffering. however, sometime the suffering is transferred to the most innocent victim. this is really very sad....

yesterday, my little nephew was here as usual every weekend. although he was about 6 years old, he got a very fiery and stubborn temper.

was watching the tv and suddenly he was hungry. he wanted biscuits. mamalee, the doting grandma, opened a box which she just bought. but the little brat refused. it wasn't his 'kind of brand'. gosh!! how choosy could he get!??

there sitting on the table was a plastic container of cookies. but these weren't fresh. they were left there by the bloody lauhanku, or the very selfish grandpa. u see, our hopeless grandpa had this tendency to store away nice fresh foodstuffs for his own consumption. when those were past the expiry dates, he would bring it out and leave it openly to let others to eat it unwary.

mamalee knew it. i didn't fancy cookies. so there we had this screaming tantrums throwing little brat. he reached for that expired cookies in the plastic container. he ate it. 2 pieces some more.

i asked mamalee, "aren't those the expired cookies the bloody lauhanku brought over from the other unit of the flat?" she answered yes. i was furious and asked her why didn't she discard it? she kept quiet....then she explained lamely: "if i were to throw away food, next life i won't have enough to eat." FAINT!! i was so angry. i took the container and threw it into the dustbin!

actually, i could read her mind. she was hoping that the weird IT FT tenant would eat it instead. whether he ate or not, i wouldn't know cos weird tenant was only active when i off all the lights and go to sleep.

lauhanku didn't want the cookies. neither did i not mamalee want to eat. yet mamalee did nothing even though she knew the biscuits weren't consumable. in the end, the innocent nephew-cum-grandson ended up being the unwitting consummer and victim of the expired biscuits.

sad isn't it?

in this family, the father (the bloody lauhanku) intended harm to the family, namely me and mamalee, never for one day he gave us any peace. in turn, mamalee intended and transferred the harm hopefully to the tenant who again was another 'innocent victim'.

but in the end, along came a more innocent victim - the grandson/nephew got hit. well, it was a tummy ache that followed and off to see a doctor which costed about $50...and all thanks to those wild expired biscuits left intentionally by the bloody lauhanku.

lauhanku sowed the sins. mamalee nurtured it. finally a totally innocent child harvested all the sufferings.
