Anger bubbled up.. pure

“Can’t you look where you are going?” she bellowed. “Have you any
idea what could have happened?”

Written for Marathon Bloggers. We’re doing a week of 55ers. Today’s prompt was ‘love’.
Yikes!! that was kind of scary!
I've been scolded so many times while crossing the street as a kid by mum! I'm still wary as an adult! 😛
Wow.. I had chills reading this Tulika, what a great take on a 55er!
And on the flip side, I have terrorized my kids so much that they jump out of the way for a cycle :P.
That is terrifying and I sure can feel this mother's terror and relief. Awesome!
Woah, The mom's emotions have been captured brilliantly ! Kudos Tulika
Aargh.. Maggie now I want to talk to your mum and sympathise!!
Thanks Prats for dropping by.
A mother will never be able to hive up on these feelings. That is what makes her. Love this
I was the kid who crossed the road escaping from my mothers tight grip. You should see the way she holds my hand even now. I'm 24 and have crossed 100s of roads, but when I'm with my mum, she has to hold my hand.
Sulekha.. How else would they let off all that emotional energy?
Shilpa.. Thanks.
Richa.. Scary it is.
The mere image shakes me up!

OMG! What a scary experience. The agony of the mother well captured!!
Why do we mothers always show our relief,once our kids are past the danger, by shouting at the kids? 🙂 Lovely post.
Kalpana: Oh it's a continuous dread. Kids are pretty blind to traffic.. at least my son is.
Shailaja: Thanks.. you're too liberal with your compliments.. not that I mind 😉
Uma: I think most mums would have gone through this. Scary.
Pallavi: Thank you.
Monika: Absolutely.. yet it happens all the time.
can understand the feelings of the mom………..
the dread of every mother
