Marriage - A Serious Joke

Early morning, 8.30 am.....(early? Yes, for me....esp on a lazy cold winter weekend morning)..

I'm not one among those that rush to brush! So here I am. Carrying my body along with me, not realizing I'm dragging my blanket half way down the ugly trash. The noises outside woke me up. I couldnt be more right about what I heard. Dad made it a point to let the whole world know that he is up and active.

I'm still frowning and squinty eyed. He smiles, one that is brighter than usual. Something was fishy, I thought, with him holding my hands and pulling me down to where he was sitting. And then, the following conversation.........

Dad : Moley..........(You cant even imagine how sweet that was......)
Me : mm...?
Dad : You know these guys in the matrimonial sites.......they all have moustaches.
Me : ????????
Dad : You like guys without moustache, alle?
Me : (In my sleepy head, it felt like a great idea to say yes.....).....Oh yeahhhh Papa.....(fake disappointment).....Guys with moustache look so old...eh....mm...no papa...plsss.....you didnt find any without moustache...(sometimes it is best to show you are concerned)....?
Dad : Kutta....If you check for guys without moustache, you will only get 5 % selection....*&(*&(*&(&*>..............(blah blah blah).......
Me : (relaxed.............i know I can rest in peace for a while now......)

All for this wonderful morning conversation......I wonder how long I can dodge this joke, until it gets serious some day!

And as for my request to the men out there. Please.. Moustache is the word. Keep it on!

Sigh!! :/
