One day as the weather was pleasant, I took Diya out for a walk. We were waiting for suraj ‘s bus.As she was enjoying all the sounds wide-eyed, I saw my son walk home with a visibly upset face. 
“What happened?”- I asked
“I don’t think I can be friends with steven anymore”- he said with a cross face.
“why? did you guys have a fight?”- I was really concerned now.
“No, but he keeps doing the same thing again and again. He finishes his work fast and then disturbs us when we are doing it. I told him not to do it , but he just can’t.”- His tone told me that he fond the whole thing quite irritating.
“so is he a bad boy”?- I asked
“No..ooo. Not really, I like him a lot and we play together,”- he started, not knowing how to judge what happened.
“well, see baby, we all have faults in us that other may not like. Nobody is really perfect, but if you reallylike someone, you accept them as they are. If somebody doesn’t behave the way we want them to, it does not necessarily mean that they are bad, or we should cut them off completely”- I said slowly
“How is that?”_ he asked
“Mmmm.. you don’t always do what I ask you to, and sometimes drives me crazy with your pranks, but I don’t stop talking to you.”-he gave me a wicked smile.
“Mrs olson told me that her cat’s fur is causing a lot of problem and she is having a tough time cleaning her apartment. But she didn’t throw the poor thing out, you know! You actually like oranges a lot, but peeling them and taking the skin out and then the seeds is a lot of work, but you still do it, because you really like it”.
“yes.. that is true..”- he said thoughtfully.
“The onions always brings tears to my eyes and peeling them and cutting them is an unpleasant task. But I don’t stop using them, because they make the curry delicious.”- I pointed out
“But why can’t he be good then?”-he gave me a very perplexed look.

I smiled.. “You really have to let him know that you don’t like him troubling you while in the middle of your work. you have to communicate it really well, not just shout at him. I am sure he will understand and not do it again”.
We really get annoyed if someone doesn’t understand us or reciprocate the way we want them to. But a little aftermath would tell you that communication is the key to solve all such problems. You really can’t alter their DNA, but improvisations are always possible and a little patience would come by if the person means a great deal to you.
