Aditya opened the door to find Nita holding her forehead. Seeing him,she screamed, ‘I have a terrible headache, I am sure I have brain tumor’. Aditya dropped his bag and took her to their family doctor.
The doctor asked her to go to the ophthalmologist saying that maybe she has a vision problem. Aditya gave her a sly smile as if to say ‘I told you’
Aditya then began telling about his back pain. Nita grimaced and thought, ‘I constantly have such pains but have I ever complained’
The doctor gave him some medicines and sent them home. They reached home to see their teenage son limping. ‘What happened’, Asked Nita. ‘Fell down while playing football.’ was his reply. Aditya examined the injured area, it was bruised and obviously it was paining a lot. But the kid just smiled and limped away.
Both the parents smiled sheepishly. The kid was much more in pain than them and here they were complaining.

We complain so much about our aches and pains but kids… do they ever bother??
Searching Self 
May be because we know more and get worried at many possibilities.
Maybe…..
I have seen it too. Kids they get hurt and move on. We keep grumbling at every small hurt :).
🙂 We keep bragging about our pains, kids move on. Thanks Rachna
Good one. We do that a lot. Kids are so hassle free in this sense.
Yes. They forget easily
good job…!
🙂 Thanks and welcome to SS
Very true!! We should learn from kids…they are always raring to go!! people who keep complaining about their health even for the most minor of issues really bug me!!
Exactly. We hold on to our aches and pains while for a kid any pain is momentary
The kids have more distractions than us! We just think about ourselves and our pains and their consequences! Ignorance is bliss!
Very right. When kids fall down while playing we say, it happens. But we ourselves don’t remember that pains and aches will come with age.
Beautiful story that serves a lesson. we must be like the child that smiles on the face of hurt:)
Yes. Atleast while facing trials and tribulations, we should be like a child 🙂
Yes, Bhagyashree. Well and truly said and this solves half of the problem and the battle half-won::)
🙂
That’s y one should never grow up rt ? But we all do unfortunately !
Ha ha. We all have to grow up but some things should always be childlike
hehehehe I know a guy who vists docs at the drop of hat!!! Takes on his Mom 😀
And who is that 😛
nice.. actually this is the story of my house. i visit doctor for everything. my daughter laughs and say it ok, its not paining much and goes back to playing.. :). but here may be she is afraid of doctor or playing is more important to her than the pain.,
Maybe children forget and forgive easily. Adults do not
Yes, kids are so resilient, aren’t they? 🙂
Oh yes very. 🙂 I often wonder why the tendency to accept ‘change’ diminishes with age??
hey Bhagyashree, ive nominated u for a bunch of awards. have a look whenever u have time:)
Thanks Vishal. 😀
Sweet….kids are more patient than us, right? 🙂
Absolutely. Maybe it is like that bcoz they don’t have much to do…
