Shaolin and headbutting..

Today once again, Dad remembered head conditioning scenes from various Shaolin movies.

This was after being head butted on his nose, once again.

This sequence goes like this:

• Dad is carrying Nischal.
  
• Dad tries to kiss him.
  
• Nischal turns towards dad and headbutts him on his face.
• Dad lets out a 'ooh', 'aah' or an 'ouch'.
  

The 'my-son-can't-do-anything-wrong' mom thinks it's because Nischal has a big/heavy head, and still can't keep it straight.

Dad thinks he hears phrases like

"Keep away, you unshaven mongrel!",

"Again? Take that !"

"Just keep asking for it, don't you?"

or other kind words from Nischal. Maybe all those headbutts are doing things to Dad's brains.

After he dabs nose, he peers into Nischal's face.. and sees no sign of any hostility. Just a serene smile.

So the next day, he works up his courage, and .. BAM! - the sequence repeats.

Given the frequency of visits, the doctor thinks dad is just ashamed to admit being beaten by his wife. Dad prefers him thinking that way.

Meanwhile dad now has theories about Nischal's previous life. He keeps measuring Nischal's head, checks the shape, the damage to his own nose, and googles for images of past Shaolin monks' heads.

Mom - hit in the face, and dad escapes with a shot on his legs..

Reporting from the war front ... shelling by Mr. Nischal continued, and yesterday Mom was the first casualty. She caught a volley on the face and clothes, and let out a shriek. Surprisingly however, Mom later seemed unfazed and unhurt, and even talks about event in a rather light vein. 

Dad was hit a few hours later -  He claims he was tricked. In his own words 

"I was alert. Armed with a wet tissue in hand, I blocked and diverted the trajectory well. But just as I moved my hand towards the new diaper, the second volley caught me. I'm lucky I only got hit on my leg.. " 

Despite the confident front,  the previous arrogance has clearly left him. One could see signs of fatigue and humility on his tired face. Like the chap departing from the White house, he realizes that he'd presumed victory a little too soon. 

Mr. Nischal, unfortunately wasn't available for a comment. His office responded that he was 'resting'.
