IT'S A BOY !

"Who is she mumma?"a 5-year old asked her mother pointing at a photo in the family album.
"She is your elder sister Tara." her mother replied calmly.
"Where is she now ?" the baby asked curiously.
"God took her away with him." and a tear dropped from the mother's eye.
"But why did he take her mumma ?" the cute little girl held her mother's hand.
"Your sister's both the kidneys were in a really poor state , we gave her the best medication but she couldn't recover . God couldn't see her in so much pain so he took her away ."
"Did you cry when she left you?"she looked into her mother's eyes.
"A lot! " 
"And dadda?"
"No, he was not allowed to ."
"But why mumma?" 
"Let me tell you a story 
When he was born , everyone rejoiced and shouted "Woah Hoo, It's a boy !!"
When he turned two and cried for toys , his mother told him "Oh ho, Don't cry you are a boy  !!"
When he grew 5, his father took him for swimming , but he was scared so his father laughed and said "Haha!! Don'be scared like a girl , you are a boy. "
When he became 10 yrs old , he fell from his cycle and started crying and his granny told him "Sshhh!! be strong , you are a boy. "
When he turned 16  he proposed his crush , but she rejected him , and on seeing him cry his friend told him"Aah!! Don't cry over a girl , you are a boy. "  
When he grew 23 and lost his father , his grandpa told him "Oh dear! you will have to look after the family , you are a man now .""
When he became 27 and I proposed him , he became emotional and I mocked him "Aah! love , I don't want to marry a crying baby, be a man . "
When he grew 31, he became a father and all the relatives told him "Congratulations!! Take care of your family properly  , be a man ."
When he grew old and became 40 , he lost his daughter Tara , but he didn't cry , didn't get emotional , took care of me ,didn't share his problems , tried his best to fit in the definition of "MAN" ; but the pain of losing his daughter made him hollow from inside and he had a brain  hemorrhage  and he went into coma ."
"Mumma , is this dadaa's story?" the small baby asked while wiping her mother's teary eyes.
"It's the story of every boy in this world. " her mother replied .
"Did dadda ever cry ?"
"Yes! When he saw you for the first time !"
The little girl ran to the hall and hugged her father and said "Dadda , DON'T BE A MAN , JUST BE YOURSELF  !!"

    "Man up."
    What a cleverly disguised way to say shut up.
    Shut up or fight back or you deserved what you got.
