Fears

Things have been going smoothly for us these past weeks. Mar has stopped acting cold towards the workers and mom has got closer to Bin, who's now reluctant to leave with us every night.

Most of the time, I accuse my mother of having charmed my son into thinking she's his mother when she's only a grandmother.

"Is it only me, or is your son growing rapidly?"

Mother asked one morning when we came to drop him off.

Bin has grown three teeth within a week, and not only that, but he has got perfect in crawling. He doesn't crawl like a baby any more. And Mar said he might start walking within a month.

And he kept a straight face while saying something like that.

Bin isn't up to three months!

How can a boy of three months grow this rapidly?

Has he stayed in the womb for nine months like other children, this would have been my eighth month!

And he's already thinking of walking?

Talk of the odd things of this world.
