Dear Diary,
Its her childhood video, that's concerning me. We were out at a traditional Indian restaurant ; she was eager for a north Indian course. Her impatient palms smacked the table few times to stun the bewildered waiters who were slow to deliver. She dug in as soon as the plate popped in. I had to tear the wheat chapati to several crumbs for her as she dipped them into the curries around. Her scurried actions were noticed by many elders passing our table. Her roly-poly cheeks, tiny chin and a small part of her nose was pasted with all the curries she had dropped off into her mouth. She was 6 but she consumed all of the food before the 20 year olds there. I lost that video in the 15 years that have rolled by. When we have a fight I used to replay the video and cheer up. After finishing her food that day, she had made a chirpy noise, I think it was a burp, and I'd give everything to listen to it again. Please.
