Scary Movie Zero!

- STATUTORY WARNING -
This post is rated PG-13 for it's scare quotient. Think Twice before you proceed. For those who are light-hearted - You've been warned, so dont try to blame me later.

- GENRE -
Same as the other Scary Movie series - Horror Comedies

- REVIEW -
It's based on a True Story. First Half is maybe cute but it gets wild & scary & action-packed as you go ..You might be reminded a bit of the movie Memento, coz the story proceeds in reverse ...Don't miss it coz it's a blockbuster running houseful in multiplexes & single-screens too!!!

- THE SCREEN OPENS -
Ishaan tries his hand at the potty - quite literally ...by which I mean he is right there infront of the potty .....TOUCHING it !!! A baby touching a potty??? Anything more horrifying??? ....Watch him as he plays with the big-kid potty.

Mommy screams in horror when he tries to take a bite of the potty .....



- INTERMISSION -
The first half ends right here leaving the audience wondering why in the world would a Mother let her baby near a potty??? Suspense huh??? ...Now, the 2nd half takes you back in time revealing that very suspense ...

- INTERMISSION OVER -

I am giving you a second chance.....it gets really gross from here...so stop right here if you don't have the stomach for it ....

- GRAPHIC CONTENT EDITED OUT BY CENSOR BOARD ...ONLY TEXT & FEW GLIMPSES REMAIN -



Almost every evening, a few minutes after the Baby has it's dinner, you hear a screeching call in the Manian Household.... something like "Biiiiiiiigggggg one ...." ....."eeeeeeeeh Disaster ....." ...or simply, "Ballloooooooooooo" .....This is it !! This jarring call for help is enough for the entire household to spring into immediate action !! ...Ever seen the firemen slip down the pole when they get a call so no time is lost?? ...Action here mirrors that very same sense of urgency !! ....Everyone just drops whatever they are doing, and rush to Mommy's help in the powder room.



Shreya hurries down into the kitchen, grabs a plastic bag (so she is titled "The Cover Girl"), comes to the restroom & puts it on the sink for holding all the creepy stuff thats gonna follow & settles in her position on the step stool to watch :)) ...

By that time Daddy is already in the restoom, and the struggle begins !! What struggle?? ....the struggle about changing the baby's diaper !! But it's aint no ordinary diaper !! ...it's a diaper that is overflowing way beyond it's capactity with &%#*&PUPU*^^&%&^ ...the poor diaper cannot contain the volume ...it's everywhere ...either it starts running down those delicate legs of the baby ....or it creeps up on to it's back, sometimes even reaching the neck ....how can one little baby do this?? ....how can one change such a diaper?? ....there, thats what the struggle is all about...Daddy is trying to the hold the baby's legs high up while Mommy is frantically pulling out all those wipes one after another ....or sometimes Daddy holds the baby up straight ....hoping that makes the cleaning up easier, but it does not !! .....n then there you are desperately wishing for another pair of hands to hold the baby's hands that are threatening to get into the scary poopy area .....as if there is not enough action happening, the baby somestimes decides to spray everyone & everything around him with his famous fountains .... GOSH !!

Imagine the state of the baby's clothing - those hopeless, unlucky, no-longer-cute baby clothes have no other go but to end in trash!! But that's not the big problem, the problem is how do you remove this "filled-up-with-pupu-onsie" off the baby ?? ...one has to hold him in some strange position while the other has to somehow slip it off him, or resort to using the scissors to cut off the clothing & drop it away into that plastic bag ....

In the midst of all this, you also have to handle all the crazy questions from our crazy Shreya - "Amma, what color is the pupu" ..."Did Thammu touch it"..."Mommmeeee I can't seeee it ..." forcing us to reopen that dirty diaper to take a look at what she wants to see. Aarrgghhh, is there to an end to this terrible trouble?? Nope !!!

The baby however is blissfully unaware of all the histrionics going on around him. He continues to coo, continues to babble & smile, and goes on with his messing around with the one & many bottles & tubes & lotions sitting there on the ledge next to him. As anyone's guess, no one cares about that mess rite now.....

The tense session ends with giving a bath to the baby ...making him refreshing & sweet smelling all over again ...& ofcoz putting the smile back on everyone's face once again :) :)

So there you go .....now u know why Mommy is planning to potty train this little baby ....n why she let him play with the potty .......

- THE END -

- SIGN OFF NOTE -
---- I feel sorry for those who could not stomach this story, but what's the fun if you always have only feel-good posts :))... A scare now & then adds thrill to the life of the blog :))))) .....
---- The potty in the movie has been used only a handful of times months ago & has since been highly completely disinfected several several times.
---- I thoroughly enjoyed writing this ....& is my latest favorite :)) ..
---- Hoping that Ishaan & Shreya, when they grow up, can appreciate their parents more if they hear what all they had to go through.
