I am proud of many things,
parenting so far is one of them.
I did not put any chemicals on the kids,
coconut oil is the only cosmetic, I’ve used.
I didn’t take them to temples,
but every day, I lead them on nature walks.
I teach them sustainability,
as we forage seasonal fruits,
and help them in flora and fauna identity,
in our lives, there’s no place for vanity.
I teach them about inflammation,
the risks of processed foods,
chemical preservative hazards.
We make traditional savories,
like lemon pickles, rice crackers,
and they watch me prepare,
they assist, they learn,
they shadow me in the garden.
It feels good, I know in my gut,
leading them to future, going right.

Two Grumpy Old Men Solve the Problem
Marty and Steve were two grumpy old men who lived together. They had known each other for years. Marty had been a bachelor all his life. Steve said it was because no one could stand to ever live with him. Marty’s standard reply was “Well, you are, so what sort of a moron does that make you!”
