Hospital Day 2: Reality check for EggEgg

The second time EggEgg visited me, his attention was diverted towards the tray of hospital meal: ice-cream, tiramisu cake, apple juice, carrot and brocholi pasta bake, stewed fruits. After the feast is over, and tired of playing with the buttons of the rising and falling bed, the four of us settled down in the huge bed in a serene moment: Cola feeding on me, EggEgg and Tonton. We were enjoying my favourite cartoon "Wallace and Gromit" on TV in semi-darkness when reality strikedEggEgg.

EggEgg tried to shove Cola away. He tried to shove Daddy away. He started making a fuss and I could see a tantrum coming on. "Well, EggEgg, all of us are staying here. Cola & Daddy are not going anywhere. I love them as much as I love you. You can have a time-out in the bathroom if you wish to cool down."

It took EggEgg a little while to accept the sad reality, that from now onwards, Mami will no longer be his private property.
