Zahir: Crazy things I used to do in afternoons as a kid

Many people know that I don't sleep in the afternoons and that it is so since I was a kid. Now we have all these things like computer and internet and all. But as a kid, in the afternoons I used to:

WATCH PEOPLE SLEEPING:

I would stare at people sleeping next to me and watch how they go to sleep. Turning and twisting, eyes closing for a few seconds and then again opening, eyes getting squint, mouth opening, etc. and finally I would imitate them! It used to be fun observing people carefully and then acting. I would also act that I am sleeping and would imagine to have a dream where I slip off the stairs and would kick in the air and would leave the room complaining that I cant sleep due to funny dreams!

DOING RESEARCH ON SLEEP:

As I imitate people I would also check if doing the same would make me too go off to sleep. I would also open people's eyelids to check if by doing that would they be able to see while they are asleep. How hard one needs to be poked to wake them up.

TEAR CLOTHES:

I would take clothes from the closet and tear off all the stitches while enjoying the music. I would also sneak out of the room and tear my t-shirt with scissors and with a needle (without thread) put an effort to stitch. All the time I would wonder as to why am I not able to stitch like mommy!

ENJOY MY COLLECTION:

I used to collect a lot of things...rather junk! Things like empty boxes, empty refills, broken earrings etc. I had a huge collection of bits and pieces of clothes. Everytime mommy would stitch; I would sit there to collect them all in my khakhi paper bag.

In my childhood i used to do a lot of crazy stuff...and it continues! Even after all these years of me being a pain, my parents patiently took care of us. I am sure i can never do the same. You both have surely done a fantastic job! Thank you!
