A friend of mine had sent us tickets for a movie premier.Since we reached early we had to wait outside the theatre for few minutes.
The family standing next to us demanded our attention immediately.The daughter was clinging to Dad's legs,two sons were running amock in the lobby ,a toddler trying to free himself from his mother's arms.Another young guy (GAP youth size) was pulling his mothers overcoat and trying to hide under it....This valiant woman seemed undeterred with all this crying , pushing pulling. At the same time she was comfortably involved in girl talk with another woman in the line.They were busy talking about everything under the sun and I was not evesdropping ,they were just talking loud. I could hear the conversation drifting away from the weather to the kids and gradually to how old and how many ? Now I was hearing that was clearly not for my ears ... This woman had 8 kids. She was accompanied with 7 and one was at home and to top that she had no plans to stop , she wanted to have 20.Suddenly this Mom looked mightier than a polar bear who had just hunted down a whale......
I was feeling dizzy by then and it was not the caffeine in my Venti latte.
