2 days back, we were watching tv and i was sitting on the comfortable side of the chair (sofa). When I got up to get my second dosa, C sneaked behind me and occupied the spot. I asked her to relinquish the post after I returned back to the seat in vain.
So, I lifted her up, and sat on the spot and placed her on my lap. C would not have it. She wiggled away from me. Then she positioned herself in between the TV and myself and demanded that I leave 'her' spot. She even put her hands to her hip, like a typical குழாய் சண்டைகாரி.
I tried to pacify her. I gave her the spot next to me. The spot on the other side of the sofa, which had similar comforts. She still would not like it and went to D and started crying very loudly. D also took her side and argued that a 'spot' did not belong to anyone.
Neither of us budged. Only when we were about to leave for walmart, C became ok, thinking about the prospect of buying some stuff for her!!
Yesterday, when I went to get my second dosa, I made it a point to tell C that "I am sitting here. I am going to get dosa. and I will be back". I think C understood it. Lets see how far this goes!!! When we were kids, jones and catherine and myself used to fight like this for magazines... and news papers. (First reserved!)
