Where Are My Minions?

It was a long day but a very good one. One thing I have learned about being away from home is the strength of the word NEVER. 

Never give up, never say no, never say "I'm only or I'm just", and best of all never say NEVER. 

I spent twenty minutes of my time talking to my family back home. Gracias to technology! Mac is for Facetime. 

Calling my minions is always a delight.

I sound like the mean Gru on Despicable Me. 

Minions assemble! 

"Where is Joshua? How's Marco doing in school? Has Mari got a boyfriend now? Is Jerry in school?". Questions that I ask every time I demand their presence. 

Hmm. I am a cool mom. I know I am. 

But where are my other minions? Only two showed up.

Those two! Modernisation, technology, socialisation or whatever it is that's keeping them busy and have changed them.

The world is just a click away. That's what they don't get. 

Do you remember how we get upbraided by our parents in the old times? We just bow our heads down and listen to what they have to say. No talking back! That's the rule.

These days, we may not hear them talk back. But thanks to technology! 
They can say the meanest thing to you from the tips of their fingers.
