All through the years my father and brother have poured scorn on the various skin and hair tortures my mother devised for my benefit. "Turmeric and carrots and tomatoes on your face? Why dont you just dunk your head in Sambar?" they'd say, and clutch their sides and roll around howling with laughter.
But for some reason now, the Gods have decided to make the men in my household a little more sensitive to the agonies a woman faces in the name of beauty.
Dad, a few years ago - "Why do women make such a fuss about waxing and threading anyway? Its just hair. Hair cant feel anything! So why should it hurt at all? Women are such wimps!"
Stopped smirking when my mom gripped his arm and swiped it with a huge rubber band. How he yelled when the rubber band yanked his hair out! Not a word out of him about threading after that.
Brother, a few months ago - "How does hair removing cream work, anyway? If it really worked they would have come up with a version for men! No more shaving early in the morning. You women fall for anything! HYUK!"
Stopped sniggering when he mistook a pink bottle of Anne French for Sunsilk Shampoo. Enough said.
Aah! Sweet, sweet revenge! :)
God is a woman.

Haha! Nice one, Chi. Not enough said about the little brother, though. What happened?? :) :)

Pls don't just say "enough said" and leave us in suspense!
Mistook Anne French for Sunsilk shampoo! What happened? Did his hair fall out? Did he transform himself to a Yul Brynner in a flash?
Pray continue!
Furi,Rada: He came shreiking out of the bathroom, towel clutched around waist with one hand, clumps of hair in the other. Shreiking and howling in horror, agony and plain ol shock. both hands were engaged so I escaped a thrashing. it didnt help that I maintained he should have smelt the shampoo first!

Hilarious stuff! You have to start writing again Chi.
For future usage, I'm going to get someone to buy me Anne French and send it over here. For Arun, of course- I'll wax him when he veses me next!
*Sigh, typo completely ruined the effect-
I'll wax him, when he vexes me!
