The Secret Language of Parenthood

When we were kids, I remember English was more of a secret code language of the adults  (read parents).
Whenever they had to talk about stuff related to us, they switched to English, and there we sat looking dumb, knowing that they're talking about us 😛

Later when we went to higher classes like 2-3, only then we were included in the English language club and there were no more secret talks, except the eye signals... that language is on another level LOL!

But kids today... completely different story.

Me: " Arslan hold her.. its time for her medicine."
Abiha: "Nooo no medicine time.. I don't want it"
😐

Relying on spelling out words for the time being,

Me: "Arslan don't order the C-O-K-E, she has a bad throat."

Yeah that works fine for the time being, and for SMALL WORDS. When big words comes up and the other partner is left staring blankly at the speller.. spelling the word mentally, decoding the sentence. AWKWARD 😑

Not fair Universe!! Where's my secret language of parenthood???
