No Kidding!

A popular tourist destination weekend getaway package includes:
  • Accommodation for a couple for 2 nights & 3 days in Deluxe / Swiss Cottage Tents
  • Welcome drinks on arrival
  • Bed Tea, Breakfast and Dinner
  • Free guided soft trek to riverside
  • 1 free rock climbing & rappelling session
  • 1 hr roller skating free for two days
  • Visit to water mill
  • Child below 5 years free
  • 1 surprise gift
I am sorry, but when exactly did I ask for a free child? I was just innocently inquiring about the tour details. Last time I checked, I wasn't even invited to compete on "Pati, Patni & Woh".

Overlooking the sentence-construction lapse above, it seems people have really taken quite avidly to this give-up-your-child-to-strangers game. First, they enthusiastically give up their kids as playthings; second, they enter their nastiest creation in the competition. I mean, do you honestly do not sympathize with Ms. / Mrs. Rakhi Sawant when she tiredly complains "Mujhe jaan pucch ke aisa bacha diya hai jo sota nahin!" C'mon people, whatever happened to fair competition?

My sincerest sympathies Rakhi. I mean, I'd totally freak out too if I'd plan a vacation and suddenly end up with a child below 5 years as a free surprise gift. But well, you chose to be part of a weird and silly contest and you are getting loads of money for it, so we won't go there.

Certainly no kid's matter this and nothing to kid about either!
