The misdirection

As I was returning back thro' the shopping mall with my wife and kid, they seem to have got engrossed in the ambience. I asked my wife to make it fast. But that didn't work. My kid was just wandering around, sometimes demanding her to take him up.

But just I went 5 feets ahead of them, I could see the sense of urgency in them. My kid as well as my wife walked faster to catch me up. I maintained that distance till we reached the end of shopping mall. Upon reaching me, My wife yelled, "Can't you go slow? U had alway's been like this. "
I said, "what?"
I explained her the reasoning........... and recieved the smile back.

As I just recalled, I realized: why my dad has done this to us, when I was a kid, inspite of my mom yelling at him. The only difference is , My dad didn't care to explain her the reason, and my mom has permanently thought that this man is "indifferent"

The impact of "this sort of MIS-DIRECTION" between two individuals, is still un-known

my dad used to do that too, on the rare occasions that he used to go out with us. he would walk ten feet ahead. my brother and i now take the liberty to pull his leg, since we have grown up. the man gets embarrassed and now walks besides us. :)

haha

well my dad did the exact same thing and still does..well the impact has been far from nice, because it has always been interpreted as being unkind adn unthinking and most uncared for person..i really wish he wud stop being that way..but some habits are hard to change.

hmmmm...... It seems that, it's a common habit of dads. :)

But I do, only when I'm in a hurry. Not always. I rather like to be with my kid and wife.
