I have posted the blog in Smile Corner. Today being Friday, there are a lot of people who are coming. Most people come to read the blog before going home or to the pub. It is a festive atmosphere. The priest is also here. Some customers are saying hello to him and secretly smiling.

SWN was very Friday like today. Some people were looking forward to weekend but most were not feeling good because they are hooked on blogs.
DeleteTiara
SWS had a similar mood. Specially these series of blogs about parenting is of a lot of interest. Participants from lobby B discussing about Smile's blog from earlier about writing. The management is really making a push for them to adopt that style when writing reports
DeleteCleo
The toastmaster meeting was house full, as always. Big, Big interests in the parenting blogs. Thats what we ended up talking about

Dear Madam Smile, I so happy and so sad read blog. I happy because you enjoy so much. I sad that you son make you wait mall till 4. I no understand how he let you take bus because you can fall. Kris father tell all time that he can fall. Also if you drop in eye then how you see bus. I so sad when I think that. I do 2 proud job and always read blog
ReplyDeleteFather say he angry you Kris. He say why you no yell him and tell go hell. Father say it mo safe go bus because you can fall. Father say when he go for eye doctor then he tell Kris (me) and Niklas (me son) go so they can hold one hand each. Also if Kris go get car then Niklas stay with father and hold me hand. Father say when doctor put drop in eye then father no able see clear. Father say he old almost 67

Dear Advisor,
ReplyDeleteThe retirees were inspired and shocked to read your blog today. We were inspired because you are completely independent. Even for our most active members there is no way that we can be that active. For example, our members have stopped taking public transit on their own for a long time. We were shocked because we could not imagine that you were left at the mercy of the public transit system by your son. From what we have heard, the bus drivers are generally not very polite, in fact very rude
Thank you so muych for inspiring us

Dear Author,
ReplyDeleteWe have set up a routine that we go through the reading of the blog together ie with students and professors. We do that at the SRC. Today the Dean also joined us for the reading of the blog. As we were reading the blog, our dean commented that he wont be able to read the entire blog because it is too frightening for him. He clarified that he is thinking of his own retirement and wondering if his son will do the same thing to him. He is thinking of asking the sociology department to do research and determine how commonplace it is that parents are not treated fairly and kindly by their children in the Western world. I will let you know as this research topic develops
PS: As students and young people, I want to let you know that not all young persons are that rude and inconsiderate
thank you

My Smile is amazing! She is an amazing advisor. She is an amazing councillor. She has an amazing readers family. What an amazing person my Smile is!!
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell!! Can we not have one good day! Is it too much to ask! My blood pressure is shooting through the roof!
ReplyDeleteNice work mrizvi. Thank you for making us all so proud
Reeeelaaax Plunker. Just calm down. Why do you have to have so high expectations. You already know that there is no point in teaching the kids these days. Besides Smile has asked us to be gentle
ReplyDeleteThank you mrizvi. Amazing comment today. Very informed judgement
I discussed today's blog as an icebreaker and it shocked all participants. People were amazed that Smile's inspiration and being able to make the best of the day. At the same time, they were surprised that her son would actually do this to her.
ReplyDeleteKeith Walker
Smile's blog made me happy that she is so independent and does not rely at all on her family. At the same time, I felt that her only son is not really doing anything for her. I would like to say something about him but am holding my tongue
