Elders putting pressure on kids: The Art of Handling Overenthusiastic Elders
Hello, in the land of family responsibilities and uncomfortable encounters! Today, In this Funny blog I’d like to tell you a story about the mysterious Auntie Pressure and her young genius-in-training. Get ready for a hilarious trip full of fake smiles, silly questions, and a simple trip to the market. I don’t know why Elders putting pressure on kids.
All of this started when my mom sent me to my Chachi’s house to ask if she would go to the market with her. I went into the lion’s den, or more like the living room, with a sense of purpose and ready to deliver the message.
But before I could say anything, Auntie Pressure jumped into action, eager to show off how smart her little protégé was. “Say Jai to Mama,” she told the child. The child did as she said and said “Jai!” loudly and with confidence. I put on a fake smile and said “Jai!” because I didn’t want to feel left out of this big show.
But as Auntie Pressure’s show went on, I quickly forgot what I had come to do. She told the child again, “Say Mama!” The child muttered “Mama” without any enthusiasm. Two fake smiles, but still no real goal.
Just when I thought I could finally talk about the trip to the market, Auntie Pressure turned into a quizmaster ready to stump her little genius. She asked the poor kid, who was probably just a minute ago thinking about those cookies in the kitchen, “Where are your eyes?” Now that he was in a tight spot, the kid pointed to his eyes. Auntie Pressure wasn’t happy, though, so she showed him where his eyes should be. Auntie, your “Eye-identifying Challenge” was very impressive.
“Where are your ears?” she asked the kid as if that wasn’t enough of a curveball. The poor child tried to play along by pointing to his toes. Auntie Pressure gave him a look of frustration and showed him the right answer. Oh, the problems of being smart!
I finally tried to speak up again when I had no more patience left. “Can you at least listen to me first?” My mother wants to know if you’ll go to the market with her or not.” And lastly, Chachi said, “I’ll call her when I make up my mind.”
Now Chachi’s Pressure had a different plan: “Say goodbye, goodbye to Mama!” So, the kid only sort of waved goodbye.
Enough already! I just couldn’t hold it in any longer. I said, “Would you please stop this?” Why are you bothering me and this poor child?” Auntie Pressure’s face showed the perfect mix of surprise and confusion. Taking advantage of the chance, I said, “Yes, he does deserve a Guinness World Record for his eyes and ears discovery!”
But in all seriousness, why do some older people feel the need to turn a simple visit into a full-blown show when the other person is clearly not interested? How to stay polite in awkward situations and Dealing with overenthusiastic elders is important. Everything is fun and games until someone’s task gets lost in the show!
So, the moral of the story is to stay away from the Great Auntie Pressure Show, where child geniuses are born and market errands go to die. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, take a deep breath, put on your best fake smile, and remind yourself that life is too short to play awkward games. Now go on your own family adventures and win! Handling unnecessary conversations is difficult. May your errands go quickly and your time with Auntie Pressure be fun and full of laughter. Have fun driving.
