When we were kids , around 7 years and odd I remember dad dressing us up at night with sweaters and monkey caps (the cute ones) to bed not only that he used to tuck us all in proper woolen blankets. We all used to sleep cozy in a huge king sized bed with mom and dad (Definitely the best days of life. Now I cant even imagine all of us in the same bed). Anyways dad used to make sure that not even an inch is left uncovered, because if one of the kids fell sick rest of the 3 will just follow... Even after such care when dad used to get up in the middle of the night to check on us, we used to kick off the blanket throw away the cap and remove the sweater.. So my dad decided to get us men wala monkey caps like this one (pic below) which was tough to get rid off ..
They say history repeats itself and it is so true.. My new born niece obviously will have our traits, refuses to have any cover on her head.. My sis tries to slip it on while she is sleeping, but somehow with her tiny little hands she manages to push it away..My parents now grand parents got worried , so dad decided to use his tired and tested idea of monkey cap.. Since my sis is in UK, Dad decided to send it to her . So along with other traditional gifts he went and bought a monkey cap. Much to our surprise he got another two for me and my sister.. When he showed it to us, first we went awwww.. How sweet ! We even planted a kiss on his cheek ,but when he told us to use it, we looked at each other and gave a no way look..How can we do such fashion blunder. Its not girly!! We even went on saying Dad... its not meant for girls... But then we didn't want to hurt him.. So we thought lets use it once to please him and then we will hide it some place where no one could ever reach. But guess what ...?After we wore it once it felt so nice , warm and cozy, that now if you peep into our bedroom in the night .. You will find two grown up monkey's on the bed.. :D
Awwww. That is so sweet. It never got cold enough for monkey caps in Mumbai. But my folks were as paranoid about us catching some infection in the rainy season. I hated my raincoat & gum boots but HAD TO wear them.

ReplyDelete@TheGirlAtFirstAvenue I used to feel the same.. But I came up with an alternative which covers only my ears and head , but not the face... :D
ReplyDelete@Natasha thank you babe.. Dads are simply the best! Monkey caps has that effect on hair yes ... and yes it gets itchy on the face so... we roll it up so that we don't have the cap the face. When u roll it .. It looks stylish , not geekish and its 2 times more warmer... :D
